They have confirmed that this application should be handled by Health Support Services.

Health Support Services have agreed that they would be the best placed to deal with this and will contact you directly to progress your application.

I am happy to proceed with this request outside of the confines of FOI. If you can provide that information via this email or posting to SafeWA site, or a platform like github is an acceptable resolution.

If Health Support Services is unable to proceed with this outside FOI please let me know and I will lodge a formal FOI request promptly.

For reference the Federal Government COVIDSafe app has been open sourced since May 2020. And the latest code update was 24 days ago.
iOS application: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://gith...
Android application: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://gith...
Technological and cryptographic specification: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://covi...

Posting SafeWA source code, and technological description to github or equivalent platform is an acceptable resolution to this request.

Yours sincerely,

Hi Paul

My name is Andrew Georgiades, and I am the Decision Maker for your FOI.

As you are aware the date for HSS to provide a Decision on your FOI Request for documentation is approaching. I am writing to request a brief extension to the FOI. I am sorry to be requesting this, but unfortunately recent personnel changes in the team, together with the work our team does supporting the Crisis Management Team which was activated during the recent lockdown and then restrictions in WA, has meant that we have been delayed in finalising your request.

We are therefore requesting an extension of time until Friday 28 May 2021 at the latest to be able to provide you with a complete Notice of Decision. Hopefully this is acceptable?

Thanks and regards
