You don’t need to know the law. Pick the drawer that matches what is happening, fill in three things, and the letter writes itself: the right body, the right clock, the section already quoted. Print it on our letterhead or paste it into an email. One letter at a time.
Pick the one that sounds like today. It opens the drawer you need and nothing else.
Each one is a letter that was sent and worked, with the names taken out. Under it: who it goes to, the clock it runs on, and the section that says so.
An access application to a WA agency for the documents about you. Police, the DPP, Communities, a hospital.
The 45 days ran out and nothing came. The Act says that is a refusal. This asks for the review the refusal opens.
Internal review is done, or fifteen days passed. The next door is the Commissioner, and it closes after sixty days.
Insurer, super fund, administrator, bank, doctor. Australian Privacy Principle 12. Thirty days is the guide.
The grounds for refusing access are ten, listed in APP 12.3. “Commercial arrangements” is not one. Neither is silence.
Thirty days have passed since you complained to the company. The Commissioner takes it in writing, with the paper trail.
An insurer, fund or bank has to answer a complaint inside 30 days, 45 for a super trustee. Only if it is logged as one. Say the word.
AFCA’s own guideline names who gets moved to the front: hardship, family violence, a firm that failed to respond. Hold it to its list.
A WA department did something its own record shows it should not have. Three failures, each on a document, and one ask.
Serious misconduct by a police officer or public servant goes to the Corruption and Crime Commission. Its form has eight boxes. Fill them in this order.
Written so that nobody has to be blamed for the reader to agree. Day by day, with their own words quoted at each step.
You act for yourself now. The prosecutor and the court need one email that says the old lawyer holds no authority.
Centrelink, the NDIA, Medicare, the AFP, a Commonwealth department. Same idea as the WA letter, a 30-day clock.
A claim declined, a complaint rejected, an application refused. The decision-maker owes you the reasons. This asks for them, by the rule that says so.
Five lines. Where it is up to, when the clock ran out, what you want by when. Works on any body.
A paragraph to paste into anything. Disability, speech, memory, safety, or you just want a record. They have to consider it.
Who takes this, and who only pretends to. A prosecutor will not review a police officer. A department will not find against itself. Each drawer names the body whose job it is.
They had years to charge you. You may have forty-five days for them to answer, or sixty to appeal. The clock page lists every one, with the section it comes from.
The line in their own record that proves it. Every letter quotes the document first, names what it shows second, and asks for written confirmation third.
Templates and general information. We are not a law firm and we do not act for you. Check the section before you send. The whole disclaimer, in plain words.
You may use our letterhead on letters about your own matter, in your own name. It adds a reference and a rule, not authority. The receipt under the letter is the authority.
One letter. The clock page says which. If you are in danger, 000. If you need to talk, Lifeline 13 11 14. For advice: Legal Aid WA or a community legal centre.
