Subject: Freedom of Information request - Outward Travel Restrictions Exempt Traveller and Individual Exemption Data
From: Regina Jefferies <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx>
To: FOI requests at Department of Home Affairs <xxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx>

Dear Department of Home Affairs,

I respectfully request under FOI the following information from the period of 25 March 2020 until the date of this request (25 April 2021):

(1) Data regarding the number of travellers determined to be exempt from outward travel restrictions and not required to apply for an individual exemption. To the extent this data can be disaggregated, I respectfully request that it be disaggregated by the categories of traveller exempt from travel restrictions outlined in paragraph 2 of the 'Outward Travel Restrictions Operation Directive' v7.

(2) Data regarding the number of travellers who have applied for an individual exemption to the outward travel restrictions. To the extent this data can be disaggregated, I respectfully request that it be disaggregated by the general basis for the exemption request (or by another similar categorisation adopted by DHA), as well as by the country of intended travel.

(3) Data regarding the number of travellers who have been approved for an individual exemption to the outward travel restrictions. To the extent this data can be disaggregated, I respectfully request that it be disaggregated by the general basis for the exemption request (or by another similar categorisation adopted by DHA), as well as by the country of intended travel.

Yours faithfully,

Regina Jefferies
