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Your request will be withdrawn if you do not take action with 30 days.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.

In reply please quote:

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
[2][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.

Good morning Juliana,

Happy new year.

I would really like to be able to get your refund returned to you and think that the email link is the issue.

A solution I would like to try is you sending an email from your personal email to the below FOI email address that I have manually entered and revolved the hyperlink.

Please send email from your personal email please Include the FA number and attention to Joanne [Department of Home Affairs request email]

I'm hoping this will work.
