Dear Ernest

Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Vic)
(the Act).

Payment of application fee required to make an FOI request

Section 17(2A) of the Act requires that an application fee of $30.10
accompanies a request for access to documents. Payment can be via the FOI
online portal at [1]https://online.foi.vic.gov.au/foi/reques....

The application fee may be waived in circumstances of hardship. If you
wish to seek waiver of the fee, you will need to provide evidence of
hardship, such as a current healthcare or pension card.

Please note your request will not be considered valid and will therefore
not be processed until payment or application for waiver is received and
approved.

Clarifying your request

Your request is for information rather than for specific documents.

Please specify the document types you seek access to (for example,
briefings, a report, file notes, emails, etc). Requests must be made for
specific documents or groups of documents, not for every document in a
broad category.

Accordingly, I invite you to consult with the department with a view to
amending or clarifying your request so that it is in a form which complies
with section 17 and provides the information necessary to identify the
documents sought.

Next steps

To make your FOI request valid you need to pay the application fee (or
show evidence of financial hardship) and clarify the terms of your
request.

I would appreciate it if you would respond to the issues raised above by
17 January 2021, otherwise I will assume that you do not wish to submit a
valid FOI request and no further action will be taken by the department.

If I may be of assistance, please contact me by reply email.

Yours sincerely
