So random question time

When it comes to freedom of information requests, can I still lodge one if I only know what information I want, without knowing if a document containing that specific information exists?

For reasons, I'd like to get a list of the current Ambulance Victoria branches. I'm not entirely sure they'd have one document that neatly outlines each branch they have, so I don't really know if I can go to the ombudsman to request that, if it would involve them digging through other files and collating my requested information into one single file

Ordinarily I'd just ask their FOI office, but unfortunately their FOI office isn't very nice. They've been asked publicly at least twice, and completely ignored both FOIs, and when I emailed to ask for guidance they told me such information can not be released to the public and that's just the way it is, that's why I'll probably go to the big buddy

Yes I know it's weird but..I don't see why an FOI request wouldn't cover this. The CFA and VicPol both have public pages listing all active stations. And you can pull all the ambo stations from VicEmergency (there's little station icons on there), that's just inconvenient and time consuming, and they're a public agency and FOIs exist for a reason and I'm stubborn

Yep. It's about the information, not the document. Go for it.

And I am shocked that that info isn't readily available on their website.
