Dear Alex,

 

Thank you for your email of 28 August 2023 requesting access to documents
held by the Classification Board (the Board) under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).

 

You have requested access to:

 

I request access to the Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently
used by the Australian Classification Board.

 

Your request has been allocated the reference number FOI 24-074. Could you
please ensure that you quote this reference number in all future
correspondence.

 

Timeframes

The statutory due date for you to receive a decision on your request is 27
September 2023. This date may be extended in certain circumstances, and in
the event that this occurs, the Board will notify you.  Where the due date
falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the timeframe will expire
on the next working day.

 

Other information

Please note that the Board considers the following information outside the
scope of your request unless you specifically request it:

o personal information of third-party individuals; including public
servants below the SES level and all email addresses, signatures and
direct telephone numbers
o any duplicates and drafts of final versions of documents captured by
your request
o any correspondence sent directly to or from you.

 

The Board may impose a charge for the work involved in providing access to
the documents in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Charges)
Regulations. You will be notified separately if the Board decides to
impose a charge. There is no charge for documents that contain your own
personal information.

 

Where documents are released to you under the FOI Act in response to your
request, the Board must publish those documents on its FOI Disclosure Log
within 10 business days of their release to you, unless they contain
personal information or business affairs information that would be
unreasonable to publish. Further information regarding the FOI Disclosure
Log can be found [1]here.

 

Please note that the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional
Development, Communications and the Arts (the Department) provides
administrative support to the Board in relation to the processing of FOI
requests. As such, should you have any questions relating to your request,
please do not hesitate to contact the Department’s FOI Section via email

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Style Guide for the
Classifcation Board

 

Dear Classification Board,

 

This is a Freedom of Information Request for the purposes of the Freedom
of Information Act 1982.

 

I request access to the Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently
used by the Australian Classification Board.

 

I note that I've made a similar request to the Australian Classification
Review Board. If both documents and guides are the same, then I am
entirely happy to withdraw the request if they are.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Alex Pentland
