Good afternoon,

I refer to your FOI request submitted on 2 October 2019.

Currently your FOI request does not meet the requirements necessary to
submit a valid FOI request.

You have requested the Minister's diary covering all days in September in
weekly agenda format.

The Ministers for the Department of Social Services are currently:

-          Senator the Hon Anne Ruston, Minister for Families and Social
Services;

-          The Hon Stuart Robert MP, Minister for the National Disability
Insurance Scheme and Government Service;

-          The Hon Michelle Landry MP, Assistant Minister for Children and
Families; and

-          The Hon Luke Howarth MP, Assistant Minister for Community
Housing, Homelessness and Community Services.

Could you please confirm which Minister your request relates to, and
clarify if the diary you are requesting is for September 2019.

Please confirm at your earliest convenience but no later than Wednesday 16
October 2019. If we do not hear from your by this date, your FOI
requests will be treated as invalid and no further action will be taken.

 Regards
