Dear CR
I refer to your request of 1 October 2024, whereby you made a request for
the following documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI
Act):
1. The most recent 30 notices of charges issued to FOI applicants.
For each of these 30 requests, if applicable, please also provide:
2. Any subsequent decisions regarding charges following applicant
contention.
3. Any subsequent decisions regarding charges following internal or
external review.
Please exclude the following information:
i) Personal information of FOI applicants.
I acknowledge receipt of your request under the FOI Act. CASA received
your request on 1 October 2024 and the 30-day statutory period for
processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should
therefore expect a decision by COB Thursday, 31 October 2024. However, the
period of 30 days may be extended if CASA needs to consult third parties
or for other reasons. CASA will advise you if this happens. Should the
timeframe be extended, you will be notified by CASA with the new due date.
Your above request has been assigned the reference number F24/30200,
please use this reference number in future correspondence relating to your
above request.
You will be notified of any charges in relation to your request as soon as
possible, before we process any requested documents or impose a final
charge. CASA’s practice is to release documents in pdf format transmitted
via email to your nominated email address. Please advise if you wish a
different communication method – additional charges may apply.
When CASA has made a decision about your FOI request, we will send you a
letter explaining our decision and your review and appeal rights.
Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me at:

For each of these 30 requests, if applicable, please also provide:
2. Any subsequent decisions regarding charges following applicant contention.
3. Any subsequent decisions regarding charges following internal or external review.

Please feel free to contact me if you require any clarification or have further questions regarding this request.
Yours sincerely,
CR
Dear FOI Team,
I wish to provide clarification as to the scope of my request.

Yours sincerely,
CR

CASA has been unable to make a decision under the statutory timeframes and
as a result, the outcome is a deemed refusal of your request under the FOI
Act.
The consequence of this ‘deemed refusal’ is that you have the right to
apply to the OAIC for Information Commissioner (IC) review and CASA cannot
impose a charge for access.
CASA has continued to prepare a substantive decision and statement of
reasons on your FOI request and our obligation to do so continues even if
you apply for IC review and up until any IC review of the deemed decision
is finalised.
CASA will continue to process your FOI request and prepared a decision
which will be substituted for the deemed refusal decision unless you have
already applied to the OAIC for IC review and the IC instructs CASA
otherwise.
We sincerely apologise for the errors in processing your request and the
delay in providing you with a decision regarding access.
