Private Bodies—The head, such as the CEO or MD, or an authorized  deputy information officer must submit the Section 83(4) report.

The annual reporting window closes on 30 June. 

Details of all access to information requests your organisation received and processed during the previous financial year.

Submissions must be done digitally.  Your information officer must first be registered before you can file the report.
