SBS is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1992 (Cth) (FOI Act), and is required to publish a disclosure log on its website (section 11C). The disclosure log lists information which has been released in response to a request for access to an SBS document under the FOI Act. This requirement has applied since 1 May 2011.
The disclosure log requirement does not apply to:
personal information about any person, if publication of that information would be unreasonable
information about the business, commercial, financial or professional affairs of any person, if publication of that information would be unreasonable
other information covered by a determination made by the Australian Information Commissioner, if publication of that information would be unreasonable
any information, if it is not reasonably practicable to publish the information because of the extent of any modifications that would need to be made to delete the information listed above.
The information described under 'Disclosure log' below has been released by SBS under the FOI Act and is available for public access. A link is provided if the information can be downloaded from this website.
Information that is not available on the SBS website may be obtained by writing to SBS:
A charge may be imposed to reimburse SBS for the cost incurred in copying or reproducing the information or sending it to you. There will be no charge for the time spent by SBS in processing the FOI request that led to this information being made available. You will be notified if any charge is payable, and required to pay the charge before the information is provided.
There may be documents in the disclosure log that are currently not available in HTML format. If you are unable to read the format provided please contact the FOI contact officer using the contact details set out above. SBS will try to meet all reasonable requests for an alternative format of the document in a timely manner and at the lowest reasonable cost.
Information attached to, or referred to, in the SBS disclosure log will generally be removed after 12 months, unless the information has enduring public value.
The FOI Act also requires SBS to publish a range of information under the Information Publication Scheme (IPS). SBS's IPS entry can be accessed here.
