Dear Mr Alexander

 

We refer to the attached Freedom of Information request received by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources (the department) on 7 September 2020 seeking access to:

 

I would like to see the incubator support initiative (ISI) application processing workflow that was followed by department staff (a simple list of steps or a flowchart) in handling ISI grant applications or inquiries (expressions of interest/draft applications/formal applications).

 

The document should list the steps that were followed before December 2019. I am not interested in steps that were only followed after December 2019.

 

For documents that fall within the scope of the request, it is the department’s policy to withhold:

 

·       the names, signatures and contact details of departmental staff who are not in the Senior Executive Service (SES);

·       the mobile phone numbers of SES officers; and

·       the names, signatures and contact details of ministerial staff below the level of Chief of Staff.

 

The names and other details of SES officers will be released unless the information is exempt from disclosure.

 

If you require the names or contact details listed above, please let us know by return email at [email address], otherwise we will consider that you agree to that information being excluded from the scope of your request.

 

If you have any questions, please contact the FOI team.

 

Regards
