Extension of time under s 15AB
Dear Julie
On 10 October 2018, the Department of Veterans' Affairs (the Department) applied for further
time to make a decision on your FOI request of 11 September 2018.
This application was on the basis that the processing period is insufficient to deal adequately
with your request, because it is complex.
Decision
As a delegate of the Information Commissioner, I am authorised to make decisions on
applications for extensions of time under s 15AB of the FOI Act. I have decided to grant the
Department an extension of time under s 15AB(2) of the FOI Act
to 25 October 2018.
By granting an extension of time it is anticipated that the Department will provide a well-
reasoned and better managed decision.
