Dear Ms Payne 
 
Acknowledgement of your Freedom of Information Request no. 0918 
 
I refer to your request for access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 
(the FOI Act). You have requested access to: 
 
“…copy of the first page only (cover page is fine), of all current, contracts the SMRC 
has, that contain a confidentiality clause within them.….” 
 
We received your request on 18 September 2018 and the 30-day statutory period for 
processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect 
a decision from us by 19 October 2018. The period of 30 days may be extended if we need to 
consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens. 
 
The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send notices to. We 
will contact you using the email address provided in connection with your request: 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx. We will send all notices and 
correspondence to this address. Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish 
correspondence to be sent to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise 
us of changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to be sent to the 
address specified above. 
 
Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be published online on our 
disclosure log at http://www.smrc.gov.au/foiips, subject to certain exceptions. (For example, 
personal information will not be published where this would be unreasonable.) 
 
Please contact me if you have any questions. 
 
 
Yours sincerely 
 
 
 
 
Jan Bowman
