Dear Regents Park resident,

Thank you for your FOI request. Unfortunately, DHA is not able to respond
to the scope of your request for two reasons.

Firstly, DHA was not established until 1987 so the records you seek may
belong to The Department of Defence.

Secondly, FOI requests are only for records younger than 20 years.

The National Archives have a helpful page at 
[1]https://www.naa.gov.au/about-us/who-we-a...

This advises that:

Archival records in the open period (more than 20 to 30 years old)

If the records you are seeking were created by a Commonwealth Department
or Agency and are more than 20 years old, you can request access to them
under the Archives Act 1983 (Cth) by emailing [2][email address] or by
visiting our
[3]https://www.naa.gov.au/help-your-researc... :
[4]https://www.naa.gov.au/help-your-researc... on
the NAA website.

Noting the above, we request that you confirm your consent for this FOI
request to be withdrawn from DHA.

I hope this assists you in obtaining the documents you are seeking.

Kind regards,

Bethany | She/They | Senior FOI and Privacy Officer
