Dear Mr Smith
Acknowledgement of Freedom of Information Access request
This letter refers to an access request received under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) on 13 April 2016, seeking access to:
I request any relevant document(s) which summarise misconduct by DIBP staff. In
particular, matters concerning unauthorised access to Australian citizen's personal
records and misuse of Commonwealth resources.
I would like to see the broad spectrum of offences committed, and what the resulting
consequences were for staff generally, in addition to the types of offences, and the
number of occurrences of each offence.
If such a document exists which covers any, or all, of these matters for a recent, full
financial-year period (eg, 2014-15), that will be sufficient for my purposes.
Your request has been allocated FOI request number FA 16/04/01465. Please include your
FOI request number in all correspondence with the Freedom of Information (FOI) Section.
Processing times The statutory time allowed under the FOI Act for processing requests is 30 days. Requests
are generally processed in the order in which they are received.
