Section 47E — Freedom of Information Act 1982: Public interest conditional exemptions—certain operations of agencies

A document is conditionally exempt if its disclosure under this Act would, or could reasonably be expected to, do any of the following: (a) prejudice the effectiveness of procedures or methods for the conduct of tests, examinations or audits by an agency; (b) prejudice the attainment of the objects of particular tests, examinations or audits conducted or to be conducted by an agency; (c) have a substantial adverse effect on the management or assessment of personnel by the Commonwealth or by an agency; (d) have a substantial adverse effect on the proper and efficient conduct of the operations of an agency. Note: Access must generally be given to a conditionally exempt document unless it would be contrary to the public interest (see section 11A).
