FOI Delegations
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Skills Quality Authority as part of a batch sent to 166 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Australian Skills Quality Authority,
Under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act, the principal officer or minister can make arrangements to give their decision making powers to others.
I'm hoping you can provide me with a copy of the current arrangements if possible.
If it helps, I'm happy for you to process this request under "administrative release" (https://www.oaic.gov.au/freedom-of-infor...). This would reduce the cost and time required to make a formal decision.
That said, I understand sometimes you want the request to be formal. If you won't process it informally, please process my request for the document as a formal FOI Request.
Please note - While I volunteer for Right to Know, this request is made in a personal capacity and not on behalf of Right to Know.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

charge, we will advise you. For further information on charges, please

Dear ASQA - Freedom of Information,
Thanks for releasing the document, it's very much appreciated.
The only interesting point is that the person whose name and position appears on the letter doesn't appear to be listed as an authorised decision maker!
I'm not making an internal review, just pointing something out.
Yours sincerely,
Ben Fairless
