If you are looking for information from the Commission that is not publicly available on our website, you can make an official information request.
The Official Information Act gives New Zealanders the right to request official information.
To make a request, please email, phone or write to us with specific details of the information you are looking for, along with your contact details.

We publish selected official information responses on our website to provide additional resources for those seeking information and to improve transparency.
We do not publish requests for personal information (which can include requests by companies). These requests are decided under Part 4 of the Act, and are not published due to the requestor’s right to seek to correct information and because of the need to protect personal privacy and/or commercially sensitive information.
Responses relating to open investigations are generally not published on this register, due to the need to avoid likely prejudice to the maintenance of the law.
We will respond to your request no later than 20 working days after we receive it. In some cases, we may need to ask for an extension – if we do, we will contact you.
