Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Services Australia should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Department of Human Services,

I would like to request all documentation and internal communications related to the testing and evaluation process around the Centrelink online compliance scheme[1], in particular around the processes to minimise the risk of issuing incorrect debt notices caused by averaging annual earnings across a year.

I ask that all fees in relation to this request be waived because the release of this information is in the public interest as it is useful in improving service delivery by the Department.

Yours faithfully,
Anthony Baxter

I think it's particularly important to get the Functional Specifications because they'll reflect the brief & show the agreed scope, rules, exceptions, data matching methodology & contact methodology signed off by the developers & the Government prior to implementation. They'll describe intent.
