Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms Pane

 

Freedom of Information Request: LEX 47367

 

I refer to your request for access to documents held by the Department of
Veterans’ Affairs (Department) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982
(FOI Act). Your request was received by the Department on 3 January 2022
and was made in the following terms:

 

I seek copy of the Ian Lindenmayer report on the implementation and
effects of the introduction of the 'One DVA' model, which was provided
around 2008-2009 to DVA.

 

I seek copy of the Friday Group report on the benchmarking of costs of
service of DVA, which was provided around 2008 to DVA.

 

In accordance with section 15(5)(b) of the FOI Act, the due date for a
decision on your request is 2 February 2022.

 

When the processing period may be extended or suspended

 

Given the historical nature of the documents to which access is sought
(2008), I have had to undertake a number of searches and make a number of
enquiries in order to identify the relevant business area/s to direct my
searches.  This has taken some time.  In the circumstances, I am seeking
your agreement to a 30 day extension of time under [1]section 15AA of the
FOI Act.

 

If you are agreeable, this would make the new decision date for your
request 4 March 2022.

 

Please advise no later than COB on Friday, 21 January 2022 if you agree to
the extension of time.

 

Thank you for your consideration, I await your response.

 

Regards

 

 

Jasmine (Position Number 62329540)
