How the OAIC conducts consultations
The OAIC uses a number of mechanisms to conduct its consultations with government agencies, private sector organisations and the community in general. These include using this page and, for limited consultations with Australian Government agencies, its govdex site at www.govdex.gov.au/.
Comments can be provided to the OAIC through a number of mechanisms but primarily through its dedicated consultation email address consultation@oaic.gov.au.
While submissions may be lodged electronically or by post, electronic lodgement is preferred. To assist the OAIC to meet its obligations with respect to accessibility requirements for web publication, the OAIC requests that submissions be made in HTML, Rich Text Format (.rtf), or in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format.
The OAIC usually makes all submissions publicly available but does allow submitters to indicate if they do not wish to have their submission made public. Requests for access to confidential comments are determined in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth).
