As you may know requests for official information become official information once received. As part of the processing of requests for official information, NZQA may need to consult with relevant third parties. During the consultation, a third party may ask for the identity of the individual/organisation requesting the information. If you are an individual making a request, please advise us whether or not you would have an objection to disclosing your identity if a third party asks for your identity, and the reasons for your objection. If you are an individual making a request on behalf of an organisation please advise us both whether you personally have an objection to disclosing your identity, and the reasons for your objection, as well as any objection to identifying the organisation, together with reasons. NZQA will consider your reasons and whether they fit with any withholding grounds under the Privacy Act 2020 or the Official Information Act 1982.

Requests from an organisation for information about the organisation will be processed under Part 4 of the Official Information Act.

Please note that it is our policy to proactively release where possible. We will let you know when we respond, if we intend to publish it. Your name and contact details will be removed before publication. Please contact us if you have any questions about that.

In some circumstances after scoping a request, NZQA may decide to charge for making the requested information available. If this is the case, we will write to you again with details and seek confirmation you wanted to proceed on that basis.
