Illustration for Public Records Act 2005

When you appeal, the Minister gets a notice. The Minister must tell the Archives Council and the Chief Archivist about your appeal as soon as possible. The Minister also gives the Archives Council and the Chief Archivist copies of the relevant documents they got from the public office, as stated in section 52. The Minister sends these documents to help with your appeal. You lodged an appeal, and now the Minister is taking the next steps. The Archives Council and the Chief Archivist get the documents to consider your appeal. The Minister's job is to make sure everyone involved gets the right information. The Archives Council and the Chief Archivist need these documents to make a decision. They use the documents to look at your appeal carefully, as per the process started in section 52.
