Acknowledgement of FOI request received (s 15(5)(a))
Dear Watson Norwood,
I refer to your request
for access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982
(Cth) (
the Act)
. Specifically, your request stated:
I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for a complete
copy of the departments' Freedom of Information (FOI) logs for the period 2013-
2023, including any secondary departments controlled by the agency.
I request that this is provided as a document and not a simple redirect to the agency
website as I am of the view that your online disclosure logs do not actively reflect
your FOI requests that you have received in this period.
I would appreciate it if you could provide me with this information in an electronic
format, such as a PDF or spreadsheet, if possible.
If there are any fees associated with fulfilling this request, please let me know in
advance so that I can consider my options.
We received your request on
6 May 2023. The 30 day statutory period for processing your
request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision
from us by
5 June 2023. This period of 30 days may be extended including if we need to
consult third parties or
impose a charge. We will advise you if this happens.
You will be notified of any charges in relation to your request as soon as possible before we
process any requested documents or impose a final charge.
Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be published online on
our
disclosure log, subject to certain exceptions.
We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if you would prefer
us to use an alternative means of contact.
If you have any questions, please contact the fol owing officer:
Simon Henkel

Yours sincerely
Simon Henkel
FOI Officer
Office of Legal Counsel
