Dear Mr Simmons

 

I refer to your below correspondence received by the Department of
Employment (the Department) on 12 October 2016, in which you requested
access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) to
‘statistical material that documents the number of current 2016 Job
Seekers who are registered with JobActive providers in Qld, and have a
Certificate 3 or higher qualification.’

 

Agencies can give access to documents outside the provisions of the FOI
Act. I have been informed by the relevant line area that the Department is
able to provide you with the requested information outside the FOI process
on the basis that you withdraw your FOI request.

 

If you wish to receive this information outside the FOI request, you can
direct your request to the following mailbox with your contact details and
the Department will provide you with the requested information:

[1][email address]

 

It would be appreciated if you could let us know by email whether or not
you want to receive the requested information outside the FOI process no
later than 2 pm Thursday 27 October 2016. If we do not hear from you by
this time we will assume that you want this request processed under the
FOI Act and the legislative timeframes for processing this request will
apply.

 

Kind regards
