To request access to information, you will need to:
Determine whether you are applying for personal or non-personal information.
Personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable from the information or opinion–
(a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
(b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
- Complete a request in writing for access to information. You may wish to use the Right to Information and Information Privacy Access Application form (PDF) although this is not a mandatory requirement.
- Ensure that you provide sufficient details in your application.
- about the documents or information you are requesting to enable the CCC to identify the relevant documents
- of an address to which the CCC can send notices.
- Provide proof of identity if you are seeking personal information.
- Provide proof of authority, if you are making the application on behalf of another person.
- Include payment of the application fee (unless you are seeking personal information only).
Applying to access personal or non-personal information
- Personal information only
If you are applying only for your personal information, there is no application fee. However, you will need to provide proof of your identity.
- Both personal information and non-personal information
If you are applying for both personal and non-personal information, an application fee applies. You will also need to provide proof of your identity.
- Non-personal information only
If you are applying only for non-personal information, an application fee applies. No proof of identity is required.
- Applying on someone else’s behalf
If you are applying for access to information on somebody else’s behalf, you still need to indicate what kind of information you are seeking. You must include proof of identify of the person you are representing. You must also provide proof of your authority to make the request on behalf of the other person.
