Dear Freedom of Information,

Yours sincerely,

-----Original Message-----



 



 Good afternoon,



  



 I refer to your request for access to documents under the Freedom of

 Information Act 1982 (the Act) received by the  University on 18 August

 2025.



  



 Your request is receiving attention and a decision will be provided to you

 as soon as possible..



  



 Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing delays regarding your request

 and we will be unable to provide you with a response by the current

 decision date of 17 September 2025.



  



 Delays are being experienced due to the absences of key FOI staff causing

 delays in the processing of your FOI request. 



  



 The FOI Team’s workload is currently at very high levels due the

 unprecedented volume of FOI requests.



  



 We are using our best endeavors to process all requests expeditiously

 however there may be some slippage due to the current workload. We will

 keep in touch with you and advise if there are any further delays.



  



 Accordingly, the University is seeking an extension of time of 30 days in

 accordance with section 15AA of the FOI Act.   



  



 If you agree to the extension, the University would be required to provide

 you with a decision notice by no later than COB 17 October 2025.



  



 Your earliest response would be appreciated as we are required to notify

 the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) of any

 extension agreed.



  



 Yours sincerely



  



  



  



 FOI Team



 University Governance Office



 The Australian National University
