Good afternoon Karen
Please find a link to the ACT FOI Act 2016 for your future reference. https://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/201... The Act does not have an internal review mechanism, however should you wish to seek an FOI review of decision, you can do so by contacting the ACT Ombudsman. The attached decision has the contact details and link for how you can do this.
