Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides for ARPNSA

Dear Alex Pentland,

Freedom of Information Request no. 20231117

I refer to your request for access to documents relating to Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act). I have taken your request to be:

"I request access to the Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency,,

In making this request, I note a prior request similar to this which lapsed (https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/s...), and note the agency use of Commonwealth Branding Guidelines.

To clarify this request, I note that various other commonwealth authorities and agencies operate with documents outlining branding, logos and related styles, visual guides, and writing guides. I have attached a similar request to the AEC which turned out some of the documents that are like this for another authority https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/s...

We received your request on 17 November 2023 and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision from us by 17 December 2023. The period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be published online on our disclosure log https://www.arpansa.gov.au/about-us/acce..., subject to certain exceptions.

We will contact you using the email address provided in your request [FOI #10878 email]. If you have any questions, please contact [ARPANSA request email].

Yours sincerely,

Laura Antoniazzi
Legal Counsel
Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency
