Freedom of Information
The Victorian Freedom of Information Act (“Act”) gives members of the public the right to request information held by Kilmore District Health (KDH). The Act provides a right to access documents relating to one’s personal affairs and the activities of KDH. You can also request that incorrect or misleading information held by KDH be amended or removed.
The Act outlines the process that KDH must follow when responding to requests for information.
The Freedom of Information Act prescribes that KDH has 30 days (from first receiving a request) to ‘make a decision’ about granting access. In some cases, KDH may write to the applicant to request an extension of time, of up to additional 30 days when consultation is required with a Third Party. The Freedom of Information Officer will respond in writing within this timeframe to communicate whether access has been granted, and will advise of the applicable access charges (which must be paid before documents can be dispatched).
When KDH first receives requests for information, the Freedom of Information Officer will respond in writing to the person making the request, confirming that the request has been received.
To make a request, you will need to complete the Kilmore District Health Freedom of Information Request form and submit it to the Freedom of Information Officer. Once complete, this can be submitted via email at:
KDHFreedomofInformation@kilmorehealth.org.au
Or via post

If you are making a request for an amendment to information we hold, you will need to complete the FOI Amendment Application and send back the completed forms to the Freedom of Information officer.
