Dear Mr Diamond

 

The purpose of this email is to advise you that I consider this request to
be invalid under s15(2)(b) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 which
requires a person to provide such information as is reasonably necessary
to enable a responsible officer of the agency to identify the requested
document.

 

I would like to provide you with the following information which is
available online to the public.

 

There are reports related to 'policy evaluation' available to the public
which can be accessed at:
[1]http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/p...

 

I trust this provides you with sufficient information regarding the types
of reports which are administratively available.

 

The Department’s FOI Unit can be contacted on (02) 6289 1666 to provide
assistance with making a valid FOI request.

 

Kind Regards,

 

FOI Unit

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Reports of evaluations of
government policy interventions [SEC=No Protective Marking]

 

Dear FOI Contact Officer,

 

I am engaged in a project relating to how the effectiveness of government
policy interventions is evaluated in Australia and New Zealand. I’m
particularly interested in obtaining reports of good quality evaluations
of policy outcomes. I’m only interested in reports produced since 1
January 2014.

 

I would be grateful if you could provide me with access under
administrative arrangements to two or three such reports, if you have
them. Since I am not sure what evaluations your agency has conducted, I
leave it to you to select the reports. If my request is not clear, please
let me know.

 

Yours faithfully,

Mark R. Diamond
