Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act (1991) provides the South Australian public a legal right to seek access to documents in the State Government's possession. Access is limited only by exemptions that protect essential public interests and the private and business affairs of people about whom departments and statutory authorities hold information.

Members of the public seeking access to documents that may be held by the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) should lodge a formal Freedom of Information (FOI) application.

How to make an FOI application

The application must be made in writing, accompanied by a $28.75 application fee (please make cheques payable to the South Australian Film Corporation) and include all information as indicated in Division1 – General, Section 13 of the South Australian Freedom of Information Act 1991. Please see the attached form  here.

Applications should be sent to:
The Freedom of Information Officer
South Australian Film Corporation
3 Butler Drive
HENDON SA 5014

Fees and charges

The SAFC levies the applicable fees and charges imposed under the Freedom of Information Regulations (Fees and Charges). The SAFC may decide to remit, reduce or not impose fees and charges for any reason, including if grounds of financial hardship or general public interest can be established by the applicant.
