You have requested access to the following:

In 2017 $7 million was spent on an apparent review which has at different times been labelled the Home Affairs Portfolio Capability Roadmap which was then revised to be the Home Affairs Portfolio Review. I would like to know where the $7 million has been spent and, if on a report or series of reports, would like a copy of these documents.

Your request was received by the Department on 21 October 2019 and has been allocated FOI request number FA 19/10/01150 . Please include your FOI request number in all correspondence with the Freedom of Information Section.

If you require personal details of non-SES officers, or direct contact details of SES staff, please inform us so the decision maker may consider your request. Otherwise we will take it that you agree to that information being excluded from the scope of your request.

Duplicate documents

If the FOI decision-maker deems a document to be a duplicate, they will not assess those pages as part of your FOI request. This means that if a there is a decision to release the document to you, you will receive only one copy, even if multiple copies of that document exists.
