Dear Sam,

 

Thank you for your email submitting a request under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (Vic) (the Act).

 

Under section 17 of the Act, a request for access to documents must be
accompanied by a fee of $30.10. You can pay by credit card, electronic
funds transfer (from your bank) (EFT), or cheque. Instructions on how to
pay the application fee are given below.

 

The EPA may waive or reduce the amount required if payment of the
application fee would cause you hardship. Please provide evidence if you
are experiencing hardship and would like to have the application fee
waived or reduced. Evidence of hardship is typically a photocopy of a
Commonwealth Government Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card issued to
you, or a statutory declaration of hardship made by you and accompanied by
a recent bank statement showing your bank balance.
