Charges are often made for giving access. The maximum amount a person must pay for searching and retrieval of documents containing personal information about themselves is $30 and the maximum charge for search and retrieval and decision making time is $70. Fees and charges may be waived in cases of financial hardship, public interest or any other relevant circumstance [Freedom of Information Act ss 29(4),(5)]. There is no cost to access income support documents such as an application for child support payments and no charge for amendment to the applicant's personal information.
