Whilst the AER is a separate legal entity, it does not hold separate records in its own right and is staffed and resourced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) with all relevant records held by the ACCC. Therefore, Freedom of Information (FOI) requests for AER documents are processed by the ACCC’s FOI section.
FOI request
A FOI request can be lodged with the ACCC.
The ACCC/AER has activated its Business Continuity Plan due to COVID-19 and most staff are working remotely. We expect delays with processing FOI requests during this time. All potential FOI applicants are encouraged to seek guidance from the ACCC’s FOI team via foi
accc [dot] gov [dot] au (foi[at]accc[dot]gov[dot]au) prior to submitting an FOI request. We thank you for your patience and co-operation.
FOI responses
Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 certain documents released in response to FOI requests are available for download on the ACCC’s FOI Disclosure Log. For convenience, we have reproduced below documents related to the AER which are available on the ACCC’s disclosure log.
