Dear Mr Newton,
REQUEST FOR ACCESS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 1982
I refer to your email dated 16 February 2024 seeking access to documents under the
Freedom of Information
Act 1982 (the Act). Your request was for:
-
Any documents which contain actual or proposed timeframes for the delivery of Class 4 medical
certificate regulations.
I have made a decision to impose charges in the amount of
$137.51 in relation to your application.
On 26 April 2024, you accepted these charges.
What you must do now
Payment or $137.51 (GST free) can be made by credit card by completing the attached form and sending
back for processing.
Under section 31 of the Act, the time limit for processing your request wil resume on the day you pay the
charge. If a payment is not finalised within 30 days of the date of this notice or such further period that CASA
allows in writing, your request for access wil be taken to have been withdrawn.
Your rights of review
If you disagree with CASA’s decision to impose a charge or the amount of $137.51, you can ask for the
decision to be reviewed. There are two ways you can ask for review of a decision, namely internal review by
CASA or external review by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
Internal review
You can ask CASA to review its decision to impose a charge and/or the preliminary assessment of the
charge. There is no charge for internal review. You must apply within 30 days of being notified of the
decision, unless CASA extends the application time. You should contact CASA if you wish to seek an
extension. CASA must make a review decision within 30 days. If it does not do so, its original decision is
considered to be affirmed. The review wil be carried out by another CASA delegate. An application for
review should be addressed to Freedom of Information at the address below:

Review by the Australian Information Commissioner
You can ask the OAIC to review CASA’s decision to impose a charge. The Information Commissioner is an
independent office holder who can review the decisions of agencies and ministers under the Act. You do not
need to seek an internal review from CASA before seeking a review by the Information Commissioner.
The Information Commissioner’s review is free. You must apply to the Information Commissioner within 60
days of being given notice of the decision. You can ask the Information Commissioner for an extension of
time to apply, and this may be granted if the Information Commissioner considers it is reasonable in the
circumstances.
You must apply in writing and you can lodge your application in one of the following ways:
