Dear Freedom of Information,

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
