Dear Services Australia,
Please provide a copy of the document "Assessing and coding medical evidence for a temporary incapacity exemption".
Yours faithfully,
Robert Stokes
Thank you for contacting the Freedom of Information (FOI) team in Services
Australia (the Agency).
This email acknowledges your correspondence and provides some general
information in relation to FOI.
Charges
The Agency will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request
and the amount of any such charge as soon as practicable. No charge is
payable for providing a person with their own personal information.
Your address
The FOI Act requires you to provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. We will send correspondence and notices to your email address.
Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish correspondence to be sent
to another address or if your email address changes.
Administrative release of documents
The Agency has administrative access arrangements in place for the release
of certain documents without the need for a formal FOI request. These
arrangements do not extend to information or material of third parties.
Exclusion of staff details
The Agency is working towards ensuring all staff have a choice about
whether they provide their full name, personal logon identifiers and
direct contact details in response to FOI requests. Where such details are
included in documents they will be redacted. If you request staff details
as part of your FOI application, this may add to processing time and
applicable charges as it will be necessary to consider whether these
details are exempt under the FOI Act.
Dear Mr Stokes
Please find attached a letter relating to your request for access to

Dear Mr Stokes,
I am writing to you in regards to your Freedom of Information request (LEX
72807).
I am currently in the process of retrieving the documents related to your
request, therefore the Agency is unlikely to be in a position to provide
you with a decision by the current due date of 1 May 2023. On this basis,
we respectfully request an additional 14 day extension of time to process
this request. The effect of the extension would mean the new decision due
date would be 15 May 2023.
If you agree with this extension of time, we would appreciate if you could
please respond to this email stating ‘I agree’ by close of business
Wednesday 19 April 2023.
Kind regards
