FOI Requests, Attorney-General's Department

Dear Mr Smith

 

Freedom of Information Request FOI20/140

 

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI
Act) for access to documents.

 

I have understood your request to be for:

 

A document showing:

-        the number of personnel procured from Hays in the 19/20 financial
year,

-        the amount spent by the department recruiting personnel from Hays
in the 19/20 financial year, and

-        the position titles of all personnel recruited through Hays,
working in the Sydney office of your Department as at 19 August 2020.

 

If you disagree with this interpretation of your request, please let me
know in writing as soon as possible.

 

The department received your request on 19 August 2020 and the 30 day
statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after
that date. You should therefore expect a decision from us by 18 September
2020. However, the period of 30 days may be extended if the department
needs to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if
this happens.

 

Where the documents within the scope of an FOI request include the
personal information of junior officers of the department or other
government authorities, the department’s practice is to not disclose that
information (e.g., names, contact details). The names of senior officers
will generally be disclosed. In addition, duplicates and incomplete email
chains within the scope of the FOI request will be excluded.

 

Please note that, with some exceptions (such as personal information),
documents released under the FOI Act may later be published online on the
department’s disclosure log

If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone on
(02) 6141 6666 or by email to [2][AGD request email].

 

Kind regards
