Dear Ms Legro

 

I refer to your correspondence received by the Department of Human
Services on 28 December 2017, requesting the following under the Freedom
of Information Act 1982:

 

‘A previous FOI request confirmed over 40 people are exempt from the
cashless welfare card.

What are the following demographics of those with current exemptions

Indigenous / Non Indigenous status

Age

Sex

payment type

housing status’

 

Please be advised that the Department of Human Services has transferred
your Freedom of Information request to the Department of Social Services
under section 16 of the FOI Act. The transfer has occurred because the
subject matter of your request is more closely connected with their
department, as they are the policy agency responsible for the measure to
which your request refers.

 

The Department of Social Services will contact you to acknowledge receipt
of your request.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Sarah
