Contact information
To request access to, or correction of your personal information held by the Department of Human Services, please contact us to find out about access and correction procedures.
It is policy in the Department of Human Services that where appropriate, you should be able to request access to your personal information directly, without the need to make a formal application under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Vic). However, there are situations where it will not be appropriate to provide direct access to information, and you will be required to make a Freedom Of Information (FOI) application (for example, where providing direct access would compromise the privacy of another person).
For information on making an FOI application please visit www.foi.vic.gov.au or contact:
