Dear Me
Acknowledgement of your request for Internal Review of a Freedom of Information Decision
I refer to your request for internal review of the Freedom of Information (FOI) decision made by an
authorised decision maker of Services Australia (the Agency) dated 14 June 2023 (LEX 73069).
Decision on internal review
Your request was received by the Agency on 7 July 2023. The Agency has 30 days from the day
after that date to process your request. You should therefore expect a decision from us by 7 August
2023.
In accordance with s54C of the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) a person (other than the
person who made the original decision) will be the decision maker for this internal review.
Your Address
The FOI Act requires you provide us with an address which we can send notices to. You have
advised your electronic address is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx. 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. If you do not advise us of
changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to be sent to the address
specified above.
Disclosure Log
Please note 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 it is subject to
certain exceptions, including where publication of personal, business, professional or commercial
information would be unreasonable.

Exclusion of junior staff details
The Agency is working towards ensuring all staff have a choice about whether they provide their full
name, personal logon identifiers and direct contact details in response to public enquiries. Where
such details are included in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable
charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt under the FOI Act. On
this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will assume these details are out of scope of your
request and they will be redacted under section 22 of the FOI Act.
Further assistance
If you have any questions please email xxx.xxxxx.xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx
Yours sincerely
