Good Morning

Thank you for submitting a request for access to information you believe
to be held by AUSTRAC. In accordance with section 15(5)(a) of the Freedom
of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), I formally acknowledge receipt of your
freedom of information request for access to:

‘I write to request for Contact Number and/or email address of 
InvestbyBit Pty Ltd (ABN 98 621 652 579).

I relied on the fact that this entity is regulated by AUSTRAC and it has
become imperative to contact them concerning an issue I have with dealings
with them.’

Under section 15(5)(b) of the FOI Act the statutory time frame for
processing a request is 30 days, within which a decision on access to the
requested documents is to be notified. We received your request on 7
December 2021 and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request
commenced from the day after that date.

Section 15AA FOI Extension Request

AUSTRAC requests a 30 day extension of time pursuant to Section 15AA of
the FOI Act. AUSTRAC are committed to providing you a decision upon the
various requests originating from your office, however given current
operational resources that may not be practicable within the standard 30
day time frame. AUSTRAC are of the belief we will be in a position to
respond to your FOI request within 60 days.

Please confirm you agree to our 30 day extension of time request by reply

Charges

AUSTRAC may impose a charge for the work involved in providing access to

Regulations. If your request for access to documents attracts a charge,
you will be notified in writing. Note: There is no charge for documents
that contain the personal information of the applicant.

AUSTRAC’s policy is to exclude the details (name, position title,
telephone and/or mobile number, and email address) of officers not in the
Senior Executive Service (SES), as well as the contact details (telephone
and/or mobile number and email address) of SES staff, contained in
documents that fall within scope of an FOI request. If you require names,
position titles and contact details of non-SES officers, or the contact
details of SES staff, please inform us so that the decision maker may
consider your request.  Otherwise, we will take it that you agree to the
information being excluded from the scope of your request.
