Dear Mr Hamiltonshire
Freedom of Information Request Decision
The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) refers to the Freedom of
Information request (FOI request) received from you on 19 November 2024, as follows:
“I request access to the Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for
the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre.”
AUSTRAC conducted searches for the documents identified within scope of your request.
AUSTRAC identified a total of 4 documents in scope which have been combined into a
singular Adobe PDF document.
I have not identified any relevant exemptions that apply to the document. However, the
document contains some information that could reasonably be considered to be irrelevant
to the scope of your request. Therefore, I have decided to release the document to you in
part, with the irrelevant information redacted under s 22 of the FOI Act.
In making my decision I have also had regard to the following:
Freedom of Information Act 1982;
Guidelines issued by the Australian Information Commissioner.
You have the right to seek review if you are not satisfied with this decision. An application
for internal review of this decision must be made in writing within 30 days of receipt of this
letter by email t
o xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx.xx. You may also seek review of this decision
by the Information Commissioner by contacting the Office of the Australian Information
