How can I make a request

Please note that the ANU campus will close from Wednesday 25 December 2024, re-opening on Thursday 2 January 2025. This shutdown period and staff absences may affect the processing of FOI applications. Where the timelines are impacted we will liaise with applicant to discuss an s15AA extension of time agreement. Any applications lodged online during the shutdown period will be responded to when the University reopens.
