Freedom of Information Act
2016 to the Chief Ministers, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate (CMTEDD), which was
received by Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) on 31 October 2025.
In the application you initially sought the following information:
“I am seeking any documents that list the services and functions that have been insourced by
the ACT Government, the number of staff brought in-house and who the previous providers
were”.
I acknowledge receipt of your subsequent email to CMTEDD, in which you provided the following
additional clarifications to refine the scope of the Information request mentioned above:
“I am seeking information on services that were previously provided by private or not for profit
providers but are now done or will be done by the ACT Government. Examples in the ACT would
include public school cleaning, maintenance of public housing, weighbridge operators at resource
management centres and school crossing supervisors, cleaning and food services at hospitals”.
“The timeframe would be since the 2016 ACT election”.
We advise that CIT holds partial information relevant to your request. In accordance with section 35 of
the Freedom of Information Act 2016, we are committed to providing access to the information we do
hold, subject to any applicable exemptions.
