UNCLASSIFIED
Good afternoon Posty,
I refer to your attached request, please note the Department publishes all decisions and documents on its disclosure log as per section 11C of the FOI Act.
Under section 11C it states:
(3) The agency, or the Minister, must publish the information to members of the public generally on a website:
(c) publishing on the website other details of how the information may be obtained.
Where documents have not been published we have included the statement “if you would like access to these documents please email us/contact us for access:” This statement meets the requirement of 11C of the Act.
You may request access to the documents that have this statement in place, however due to the size of a majority of the documents they will have to be placed on a disc and sent via post. This will require a postal address.
Please note requesting ‘all documents not published’ in one request will attract a section 24AA practical refusal as the disclosure log dates back to 2010 with approximately 29 requests not published. You have also requested the number of times a year members of the public have requested these documents. This request alone would attract a potential section 24AA as it would require cross checking our records database with all correspondence for possible requests for the documents. Please note, all requests for documents are supplied to the requestor.
Grateful if you could please indicate how you wish to proceed with this request.
Kind regards
