Dear Mrs Plant

Thank you for your email of 10 February 2020 relating to the Hormone
pregnancy tests Duogynon Cumorit Primodos Amenerone Forte.

I am writing to you to inform you that the documents you seek fall within
the ‘[1]open access period’ as defined in s31 of the Archives Act 1983
(Archives Act). Section 12(a) of the FOI Act provides that a person is not
entitled to a document, or a copy of a document, which was created within
the open access period. Instead, the documents fall under the jurisdiction
of the National Archives of Australia (NAA). Accordingly, you will need to
apply for access to these documents through the NAA. (This applies even
where some of the records you are seeking may be in the physical
possession of the TGA - the NAA will retrieve any relevant records from
the TGA for the purpose of considering your request for access to the
records).

The following information may be useful to you in understanding when to
apply for documents/records under the FOI Act and when to apply under the
Archives Act:

·         When to use the Freedom of Information, Archives and Privacy
Acts – Fact sheet 110
[2]http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/fact-sh...

·         Access to records under the Archives Act – Fact sheet 10 -
[3]http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/fact-sh...

If you have any questions regarding the above please do not hesitate to
contact the FOI Team.

Kind regards

Cindy
