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 section 9(2) of the Official Information Act.

For any enquiries about your request please contact NZQA at [email address].

If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right, under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act 1982, to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. You can also telephone 0800 802 502 or write to the Ombudsman at PO Box 10152, Wellington, 6143.
