FOI Request: FA 22/09/00534

Dear Juliana Amorim
Acknowledgement of Freedom of Information Access request
This letter acknowledges that on 8 September 2022 the Department of Home Affairs (the Department) received your request to access documents held by the Department) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act). This letter also provides important information about your request.
Scope of request
You have requested access to the following:
I would like to know how many approved citizens are waiting for their citizenship ceremony in the Greater Geelong area as at the 8th September 2022?
And what is the current waiting time for the people to be called for their ceremony after being successful at the citizenship test?
Your request has been allocated FOI request number FA 22/09/00534 . Please include your FOI request number in all correspondence with the Freedom of Information Section.
Timeframe
The timeframe for processing a request is 30 days from the day we receive your request, as set out in the FOI Act.
Your review rights in relation to your request are available on the website of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Fees and Charges
Charges do not apply to requests from individuals seeking access to documents about themselves. However, a charge may apply to all other requests for access to documents.
Charges are based on the amount of time the Department spends on your request. Charges can range from $10 to over $1,000 depending on the complexity and scope of your request. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner reported that across the public service, the average charge notified was $335.50 in 2020-21.
If a charge applies, you will be issued with a Notice of Charge that explains the charge and your options.
Detailed information about FOI charges that may apply to your FOI request is available on the Department’s website.
We do not provide personal details of staff
The Department’s practice is to exclude the personal details of staff not in the Senior Executive Service (SES), as well as the direct contact details of SES staff, contained in documents that fall within scope of an FOI request. If you require personal details of non-SES officers, or direct contact details of SES staff, please inform us so the decision maker may consider your request. Otherwise we will take it that you agree to that information being excluded from the scope of your request. However names of staff that have previously been released in departmental correspondence may be disclosed.
We do not provide duplicated documents
If the FOI decision-maker deems a document to be a duplicate, they will not assess those pages as part of your FOI request. This means that if a there is a decision to release the document to you, you will receive only one copy, even if multiple copies of that document exist.

FOI Request: FA 22/09/00534
File Number: OBJ2022/24072
Dear Juliana Amorim
I refer to your request to access documents under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act), which the Department of Home Affairs
(the Department) received on 8 September 2022.
As provided under section 29 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
FOI Act) and the Freedom of Information (Charges) Regulations 1982 (the
Regulations), I have determined that payment is required for this request
to be processed.
Preliminary assessment of charges
I have assessed the work the Department would need to do to process your
request, taking into account the time that would be spent by the relevant
business areas in producing documents from the Department’s computer
systems under section 17 of the FOI Act and assessing the documents for
release. I have calculated the charge as follows:
Search and retrieval: (2 hours and 10 minutes @ $15 per hour) = $32.50
Decision making: No charge
(no charges are applied for the first five hours of decision-making)
Total: $32.50
(charge has been rounded down to the nearest whole dollar amount)
Next steps
Within 30 days of this email you must:
• pay the deposit indicated in the attached invoice for your request
to proceed, or
• write to the Department if you believe the charge has been wrongly
assessed, should be reduced or not imposed, or
• withdraw your request to cancel the charge.
Your request will not be processed until you take one of these actions.
Your request will be withdrawn if you do not take action with 30 days.
Option 1: Pay a deposit
The deposit payable for your request is $20.00.
Please note that by paying the deposit you are deemed to have accepted the
charge and will be liable for the full amount once a final access decision
has been made.
If the Department fails to make a decision on your request within the
statutory time limit, your payment will be refunded.
Details of how to pay are contained in the attached invoice.
Option 2: Write to the Department to contend charges are incorrect or
should be waived or reduced
You can contest the charge on the grounds that the charge was not properly
calculated, or:
• that payment of the charge, or part of it, would cause you
financial hardship
• that giving access to the documents is in the general public
interest, or in the interest of a substantial section of the public.
This is not an exhaustive list and the Department may consider any other
relevant matters.
Please set out your reasons as clearly as possible and provide supporting
evidence.
The Department has a statutory timeframe of 30 days from the date of your
response to make a decision to reduce or not impose a charge. You will be
notified in writing of our decision.
Option 3: Withdraw your request
To withdraw your request, please send an email to
[1][Department of Home Affairs request email] or reply to this email stating that you wish to
withdraw the request.
Your request will be closed, and no charge incurred.
Timeframe for your response
You must respond to this notice within 30 days, which is by Monday, 31
October 2022.
If you do not provide a written response within this timeframe your
request will be deemed withdrawn under section 29(2) of the Act. No
charges will be incurred.
