Sydney Local Health District regularly reviews its authorised proactive release program. Any information that is released can be found on the District's website.

If the information you are seeking has not already been published by Sydney Local Health District, but is information which raises no particular concerns in terms of possible public interest reasons why it should be kept confidential, then Sydney Local Health District may be able to release the information to you without the need for a formal application.

If you think this may apply to the information you are seeking you can email the Right to Information Coordinator at  SLHD-GIPA@health.nsw.gov.au to make an informal request. 

Under the GIPA Act, however, NSW Government agencies are not required to release information without a formal application. Sydney Local Health District reserves the right to require you to lodge a formal application, particularly if there may be significant public interest considerations that need to be taken into account in deciding whether the information can be released or if you request a large volume of information or if it would otherwise take the District a significant amount of time to consider your request.

If the information you are seeking is not available on this website and is not otherwise routinely provided by Sydney Local Health District on request, then you have a right to formally apply for access to specific information.

To make a formal application, please fill in and submit our government information access form.

A $30 application fee is payable via cheque/money order, or by credit card using our online payment portal. 

If payment is made using the payment portal you can upload your application form as an attachment or email the form to SLHD-GIPA@health.nsw.gov.au. If paying by cheque/money order please forward the application form along with the $30 application fee via post to:

Right to Information Coordinator, Clinical Governance Unit
Sydney Local Health District
Post Office Box M30
Missenden Road, Camperdown NSW 2050
Phone: 02 9515 9095

As stated in the Act, we are only able to accept access applications that:

1. are in writing and sent to us by one of the methods above;
2. clearly state you are requesting information under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (NSW);
3. enclose the $30 application fee;
4. have a return address as the address for correspondence; and
5. include as much specific information as necessary to enable us to identify the information you are seeking.

If your application does not include these five things, it will be invalid and will not be processed. If that happens, however, we will let you know and we will help you, if possible, by explaining how you can make a valid application.

Otherwise, we will write to acknowledge receipt of a valid formal application within five working days and will consider your application within 20 working days (subject to any extension allowed  under the Act). If any extension of time is required to consider your application, we will let you know in writing.
