Dear Glenn

Acknowledgement of FOI Request

We refer to your email of 1 December 2024 seeking access to documents
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).

You requested access to:

Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for Safe Work
Australia.

Timeframe

Your request was received by the Agency on 1 December 2024. The 30-day
statutory timeframe for processing your request commenced from the day
after the Agency received your request. In your request we note you
forecast your consent for a 30 day extension in handling your request over
the holiday period. We accept your offer to extend the timeframe for
handling your request for a further 30 days, pursuant to section 15AA of
the FOI Act. You should therefore expect to receive a decision from us by
31 January 2025.

If you have any concerns regarding the timeframe for your request,
including the extension, please let us know by 16 December 2024.

Your address

The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. We understand your email address is
[2][FOI #12425 email]. We will send all notices
and correspondence to this address. Please advise us as soon as possible
if you wish correspondence to be sent to another address or if your
address changes.

Administrative release of documents

It is open to the Agency to consider administrative access as an option to
release information outside of the FOI Act. Unless you advise us
otherwise, in processing your request we may provide you with documents on
an administrative basis. Providing administrative access to documents does
not extend to information or materials of third parties. You will be
notified when documents are released to you on an administrative basis.

Disclosure log

Please note that details of the information released under the FOI Act may
be published in a disclosure log on the Agency’s website. Section 11C of
the FOI Act requires this publication. However, this requirement is
subject to certain exceptions, including where publication of personal,
business, professional or commercial information would be unreasonable.

Exclusion of staff details and other irrelevant material

If the Agency holds any documents relevant to your request containing the
names, signatures, identification numbers and direct contact details of
Commonwealth staff, we will treat this information as irrelevant material
in accordance with section 22 of the FOI Act.

Where relevant, the Agency will also treat the following types of material
as irrelevant in accordance with section 22 of the FOI Act:

o any duplicate documents.
o drafts where there is a final version available.
o documents that are publicly available.

If any of the above material falls within the scope of your request, it
will be excluded, unless you tell us otherwise by 16 December 2024.
