Dear To

(attached).

This email is to acknowledge receipt of your request. Currently a decision
is due to you by 10 February 2021. However, this timeline may be effected
by the requirement to undertake consultation with affected third parties

to your request. You will be notified by the department if charges are
liable or if third party consultation is required.

For documents that fall within the scope of the request, it is the
practice of the department to withhold:

·       the mobile phone numbers of SES officers.

The names and other details of SES officers will be released unless the
information is exempt from disclosure.

Confirmation from you that you are not seeking ‘personal information’ (ie.
the names and contact details of any individuals, or any information that
could reasonably identify an individual) may enable a more timely and cost
effective processing of your request.

Therefore, could you please clarify if you a seeking access to personal
information in the documents relating to:

·       third parties; and

·       Commonwealth staff.

If you are not seeking access to any personal information, you can simply
