Dear Mr Dearden

We refer to your email of 13 August 2020 to the Department of Health
(Health). Currently it cannot be determined as to what documents you are
seeking access too.

Section 15 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) requires that
a request for access meets certain requirements. A Freedom of Information
(FOI) request must:

• state that the request is an application for purposes of the FOI Act;

• provide sufficient information about the document(s) to allow us to
process the request; and

• provide an address for reply.

Further information about how to lodge a FOI request is available on the
Health website:

Additional information

Please note the role of the Commonwealth Department of Health is to
develop and deliver policies and programs and advise the Australian
Government on health, aged care and sport. We are unable to provide advice
on medical conditions. You may consider seeking medical advice from your
general practitioner for your condition.

Kind regards

FOI Officer
