Records Request Form

Information needed to process requests

  indicates a mandatory field

If it is practical for the department to do so, would you like these files scanned?

Records Management will aim to scan files when required; however, this may not always be possible. If we are unable to scan files, we will be in touch to discuss this.

Record Requester details

In order to access records stored at Records Management you need to be on our authorised requestors list. If you are not on the list, it may take us some time to gain permission to release the records to you. If you are an authorised requestor, you can request records on behalf of someone else (for example, business support can request for a social worker).
