Dear Julie
Freedom of Information request
I refer to your request for access to documents made under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (Cth) (the FOI Act) and received by the Office of the
Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) on 27 July 2022.
Scope of your request
In your email you seek access to the following:
“I request copy of all s 15AB and s 15AC requests received by the OAIC
from DVA in the period 1 June to 27 July 2022.
Personal information of private individuals (not Commonwealth employees
and contractors) is irrelevant.”
Would you please kindly advise whether you are willing to exclude names of
private businesses from the scope of this request? For example, where the
FOI request subject to the 15AB and s 15AC applications from DVA was made
by a private business.
In order to process your request as efficiently as possible, I will
exclude duplicates and early parts of email streams that are captured in
later email streams from the scope of this request, unless you advise me
otherwise.
We will not identify you as the FOI applicant during and consultation
process. However, documents that are within the scope of your request that
we may need to consult third parties about may contain your personal
information.
Timeframes for dealing with your request
Section 15 of the FOI Act requires this office to process your request no
later than 30 days after the day we receive it. However, section 15(6) of
the FOI Act allows us a further 30 days in situations where we need to
consult with third parties about certain information, such as business
documents or documents affecting their personal privacy.
As we received your request on 27 July 2022, we must process your request
by 26 August 2022.
Disclosure Log
Documents released under the FOI Act may be published online on our
disclosure log, unless they contain personal or business information that
would be unreasonable to publish.
If you would like to discuss this matter, please contact me on my contact
details set out below.

s 27 Notice to FOI Act – extended processing period
Our reference: FOIREQ22/00373
Freedom of information request no. FOIREQ22/00373
Dear Julie,
I refer to your request made under the Freedom of Information Act 1982
(Cth) (FOI Act).
Your request was received by the Office of the Australian Information
Commissioner (OAIC) on 5 November 2022.
Your request includes documents which contain information concerning an
organisation’s business or professional affairs and third-party personal
information. Accordingly, the OAIC is required to consult with those
individual(s) and organisation(s) under s 27 and/or s 27A of the FOI Act
before making a decision on the release of those document(s).
On 15 November 2022 we wrote to you to seek clarification whether you are
willing to exclude personal information from the scope of your request. We
invited you to respond by close of business Thursday 17 November 2022. We
have not had a response from you to date and in accordance with our
correspondence to you, we have continued to process the FOI request on the
assumption that you do seek this material.
For this reason, the period for processing your request has been extended
by 30 days to allow time for this consultation (see s 15(6) of the FOI
Act). This means that the processing period for your request will now end
on 5 January 2022.
The consultation mechanisms under ss 27 and 27A apply when we believe the
person or organisation concerned may wish to contend that the requested
documents are exempt for reasons of personal privacy or may adversely
affect their business or financial affairs.
The FOI decision maker will consider any comments received as part of the
consultation process. However, the final decision about whether to grant
you access to the documents, rests with the FOI decision maker.
In the event that the FOI decision maker makes a decision to release
material, despite objection from a consulted third party, that third party
has review rights available to them should they wish to contest such a
decision.
We will not identify you as the FOI applicant during any consultation
process. Please note that documents that are within the scope of your
request may contain your personal information or information that may
identify you.
