Training Schedule (for agencies)
The current FOI training schedule for agency officers is listed below.
Given the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, workshops for the remainder of 2020 may be held online using Zoom, with the FOI Coordinators Workshop (normally a full day) divided into shorter sessions over a week.
The Zoom FOI Coordinators Workshops will be scheduled to take place in the same week the face-to-face workshop had been scheduled. This new schedule will be advertised very soon. In the meantime, if you are interested in attending a workshop, register for a date that is suitable for you. We will give you further details about course dates and times as they become available. Session overviews can be found here.
To register your interest in attending our training, please enter your contact details and select the course ID shown in the form at the right hand side of the registration page. If a session is listed as fully booked, you are able to register for the waitlist. This will give us the opportunity to contact you if there are cancellations or, if there is considerable demand, to schedule an additional training session. All courses are subject to confirmation – please contact this office if you do not receive confirmation of your attendance.
If you have any specific questions regarding the FOI process, please contact us at <advice_and_awareness@foi.wa.gov.au> or 6551 7888
