Timeframes
The statutory due date for you to receive a decision on your request is 27
May 2023. This date may be extended in certain circumstances, and in the
event that this occurs, the Department will notify you. Where the due
date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the timeframe will
expire on the next working day.
Other information
Please note that the Department considers the following information
outside the scope of your request unless you specifically request it:

direct telephone numbers
o any duplicates and drafts of final versions of documents captured by
your request
o any correspondence sent directly to or from you.
The Department may impose a charge for the work involved in providing
access to the documents in accordance with the Freedom of Information
(Charges) Regulations. You will be notified separately if the Department
decides to impose a charge. There is no charge for documents that contain
your own personal information.
Where documents are released to you under the FOI Act in response to your
request, the Department must publish those documents on its FOI Disclosure
Log within 10 business days of their release to you, unless they contain

Good afternoon
I refer to your request for access to documents held by the Classification
Board (the Board) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
Notification of Third-Party Consultation and Extension of Time
Your request captures documents which contain another individual’s
personal information and information concerning the business, commercial
or financial affairs or an organisation, or a person’s business or
profession affairs. Under section 27A and section 27 of the FOI Act, the
Department is required to consult with the affected person or
organisation before making a decision on access to those documents.
For this reason, the period for processing your request has been extended
by 30 days under section 15(6) of the FOI Act in order to allow the
Department time to consult with the relevant person or organisation. As
such, the statutory due date for your request is now 26 June 2023.
The consultation mechanism under section 27A applies when we believe the
individual (or their representative) may wish to contend that the
requested documents are exempt for reasons of personal privacy.
The consultation mechanism under section 27 applies when we believe the
person or organisation concerned may wish to contend that the requested
documents are exempt because their release would disclose trade secrets or
commercially valuable information or may adversely affect their business
or financial affairs.
With kind regards

Can not login. I clicked on forget password and followed the steps. After writing the username (which is the e-mail address) and new password, and clicking on log in, it says login has failed, check credentials, try again.
There was an e-mail in the past saying password had expired, and some of the steps written on that e-mail were to enter current password when prompted, then enter new password.

Good morning,
Thank you for your email.
I have re-shared the workspace with you and hopefully this assists in resolving the issue.
We have had feedback from one user where they advised that they had greater success in using Chrome rather than Microsoft Edge.
If this does not fix the issue for you, then please advise and we will take further steps to resolve the problem.
Kind regards,
Daniel
