Re your FOI request
Dear Mr Sweeney
I refer to your request submitted to the Fair Work Ombudsman (
FWO) on 13 August 2021 under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI Act) seeking a copy of the WMA Declaration of Helsinki in the
possession of the Fair Work Ombudsman.
While the FOI Act provides that a right of access to documents held by an agency, material maintained for
reference purposes that is otherwise publicly available is excluded from the definition of a document by
section 4 of the Act.
Current and previous versions of the Helsinki Declaration are available from the World Medical
Association
’s website.
Contact details
For further information, please email

Yours sincerely
Nicola Forbes
