If we have misinterpreted your request, please let us know by emailing
[1][Department of Home Affairs request email] quoting the above reference number so we can
reassess your request.
Charge for access
The Department has calculated that a charge of $60.00 is required for your
request.

Dear FOI,
Thank you for your reply.
I refer to request No. DA23/04/00009.
I understand that it takes time to obtain the requested information, hence I only followed up after 14 days of payment acknowledgement.
Explanation to your clarification request:
1- the occupations you are referring to when you ask for - 'Number of priority occupation clarifications'.
The occupations that are processed according to ministerial direction 100, and takes substantially less time to process. The list is changing and the website is not updated, hence refer to the link below and provide the latest list of occupations along with the number of applications on hand and finalised for each occupation that is under this priority list.
Website:
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/ge...
Kindly note that for this part of the request, "For visa subclass 190, 189 and 491, from 31/01/2023 until the day of releasing the document (or the most recent date possible), I would like to request your kind assistance in providing information about the following for each subclass:- Total Applications on hand.- Total Finalised applications.- Number of priority occupation applications.", I need the data to reflect onshore and offshore applications and their sum.
2- second part of the scope - 'number of applications for ANZSCO 233311 Electrical Engineer (for each subclass), do you also require on hand and finalised for ANZSCO 233311 Electrical Engineer applications?
Yes please, to be more specific, the number of on hand (onshore/offshore/total) and finalised (onshore/offshore/total) applications for ANZSCO code 233311 Electrical Engineer, for each subclass, per nationality, at the day of releasing the document (or the most recent date possible).

Dear FOI,
Thank you for providing the document.
I refer to request No. DA23/04/00009
I appreciate your time spent making the table. However, I have few notes that need to be done.
Firstly, the data is outdated. We are in May, so the data is expected to be at least until 30/04/2023. Secondly, the data is shown for the whole period, it is more useful when it is per month, so please sort it accordingly.
Also, my request has a whole part that was left out, which is for 233311 electrical engineers. Please refer back to the original request and the clarification on it and let me know if anything else is needed.
I don't mind if more time is needed to process the request, but please make sure it is released fully with updated figures.
Yours sincerely,
David Es

Dear FOI,
Thank you for your reply.
I refer to request No. DA23/04/00009
I quote from my previous email the following:
"Firstly, the data is outdated. We are in May, so the data is expected to be at least until 30/04/2023. Secondly, the data is shown for the whole period, it is more useful when it is per month, so please sort it accordingly.
Also, my request has a whole part that was left out, which is for 233311 electrical engineers. Please refer back to the original request and the clarification on it and let me know if anything else is needed."
Kindly be advised that you have agreed to provide me with the data according to my original request, which says explicitly the phrase "at the day of releasing the document (or the most recent date possible)."
Thus, data should be revealed until 30 the of April.
Also, I repeat that the second part of my request wasn't provided, which is for 233311 Electrical Engineer occupation.
Please review my original email and the clarification reply in order to understand my request fully.
