Subject: Freedom of Information request - Post Implementation Review of No Jab, No Pay 2015 Budget measure

Dear Department of Social Services,

I'd like to request a copy of the "Post Implementation Review of No Jab, No Pay 2015 Budget measure", mentioned as a project undertaken by the UNSW Social Policy Research Centre in collaboration with the Department:

Please treat this as a request for administrative access. If for some reason the request cannot be dealt with in this way, please treat it as a formal application under the Freedom of Information Act.
