Dear Mr. Andrewson,

I refer to your application received on 22 April 2018 subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Vic.) (‘Act’).

To be valid under section 17 of the Act, a request must satisfy three criteria:
1) The request must be in writing (which includes email);
2) The request must be accompanied by the necessary fee, which is currently $28.40; and
3) The request must be sufficiently clear to enable us to undertake a search for relevant documents.

Your request clearly meets the first criterion.

To meet the second criterion, please arrange payment of the application fee of $28.40 by cheque or money order made payable to La Trobe University. If you are unable to pay the fee based on hardship, please state your reasons in writing and provide evidence that you believe supports your claim (for example, a valid health care card or pensioner card). You will be informed as to whether your hardship claim is accepted or not. Please note that your request is not considered valid under the Act, and cannot proceed, until the application fee or a statement of hardship has been received.

The third criterion also requires the request to be sufficiently clear and also request access to documents, could you please clarify the documents you are seeking access to.

Please note that FOI requests under the Act must be for documents which are in the possession of the University, the Act does not cover the generation of new information at the request of applicants.

Regards,

FOI Officer
