Requirements and High Level Design for Taskforce Integrity
Dear Department of Human Services,
If possible, please treat this as an informal or administrative request. Otherwise, please treat this as a formal request for documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
I request the following information relating to Taskforce Integrity, the initiative to match Centrelink data with data from the Australian Tax Office (ATO) to detect potential overpayment and the recovery of those overpayments from citizens:
- Documents listing Requirements for the data matching
- Documents listing High Level Design for the data matching
I further request that all charges in relation to this request be waived as this information is in the public interest. The initiative concerns all Australians who pay tax or who receive entitlements from Centrelink, and all citizens are concerned with the integrity of the entitlements system.
Yours faithfully,
Rohan Lloyd

Of specific interest would be the decision making process in relation to the prioritisation, breakdown and selection of clients to be targeted in each weekly batch of 20,000 new interventions. Is the target client selection process purely random, or is there some weighting system involved - such as by number of inconsistencies flagged by the algorithm, estimated debt amount, payment type, alphabetic name, age - &/or is there perhaps a spread by state &/or postcode, so as minimise the risk of overwhelming any particular Centrelink branch or vulnerable community with disputes and queries?
