Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, ANU is required to publish a disclosure log on its website. The disclosure log lists documents which have been released in response to FOI access requests in accordance with the requirements of the FOI Act. For documents released from 1 January 2021, the disclosure log will contain the documents released under FOI. For access to documents released prior to 1 January 2021, please send an email to foi@anu.edu.au.
Agencies are required to publish details of documents released under the FOI Act within ten working days of an applicant being given access to the documents.
The disclosure log requirement does not apply to documents released under the FOI Act containing personal or business information that ANU considers would be unreasonable to publish.

| 25 May 2026 | 202600152 | Dear Australian National University,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I request a copy of the correspondence between staff in the Office of the Interim Vice-Chancellor and the Freedom of Information team noting that the IVC does not use signal, and therefore "no documents" exist for my FOI request 202500261.
I note this staff members involved in this thread have now been “reassigned” and no longer work after FOI requests; and therefore a search may need to be undertaken by the cyber team to recover items requested for this FOI. | ||
