The Victorian government has been criticised for blocking the bulk of a freedom of information request for documents pertaining to corruption on the ‘Big Build’ project. Liberal MP David Davis sought access to documents covering the period from 2020 to 2025. The Department of Premier & Cabinet identified a total of 1,082 pages of such documents, but only 132 pages were released; some of these were partially redacted, and were restricted to documents created after July 2024. Davis says the suppression of documents is "outrageous" and it is not credible that Premier Jacinta Allan’s own department is blocking the release of information that is clearly in the public interest.

A court bid under Freedom of Information laws has resulted in the paramedics’ union gaining access to statistics kept by Ambulance Victoria. The data show that ambulance response times have deteriorated, with 86,739 patients in a serious condition having to wait more than a quarter of an hour in 2013. This was equivalent to some 28% of all such cases, and an increase from the 19% recorded in the 2010 study by the Victorian Auditor-General. The newly-elected State Government has vowed to lift spending on the ambulance service by $A100m
