Dear Angela, 
 
This is to confirm that the email address provided is an address to 
which the Department can send notices. 
You state you are not satisfied that the address meets the 
requirement of 'details of how notices under this Act may be sent 
to the applicant', referencing Section15 (2)(c). 
 
The subsection however makes it clear that an electronic address 
meets this requirement. The full text reads: 
(c) give details of how notices under this Act may be sent to the 
applicant (for example, by providing an electronic address to which 
notices may be sent by electronic communication. "electronic 
communication" has the same meaning as in the Electronic 
Transactions Act 1999 . 
 
In the same way that Section 15(2A) authorised me to make my 
request by sending the application to an electronic address 
specified by the department, I designate this address as the detail 
required by Section 15(2)(c) of how a notice may be sent to me. 
 
It is of no relevance that any notice sent to me at this electronic 
address subsequently may be published on the internet. 
 
Yours sincerely,
