Consultation on Part 14 of the FOI Guidelines: Disclosure Log
The OAIC consulted on updated FOI Guidelines for disclosure logs, closing 4 September 2026, clarifying that agencies decide whether a publication exception applies rather than whether to publish at all. It mainly affects Commonwealth agencies and the businesses that deal with them.
What it means for business
It may be worth noting the tighter publication default if commercially sensitive material is ever supplied to a Commonwealth agency.
