This request includes, but is not limited to, emails, policy statements and hand written notes.
Lets put a date limit in from 1 January 2012.
I'll revise the scope to:
- FOI and Privacy Policy Section

This request is subject to the following exclusions:

- The names of anyone who is NOT a Public Servant
This email is to advise you of my decision that you are liable to pay a charge in respect of the processing of your FOI request in accordance with s 29 of the FOI Act.
Please see the attached letter for further information.
How to pay:
Include your FA Reference number and advise whether you wish to pay the deposit or the full amount.
The deposit or full payment can be paid by cheque, money order, credit card or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
Cheques and money orders should be made payable to "Collector of Public Monies" and sent to:

Should you choose to pay by credit card, please complete the attached credit card authorisation form (CCAF form), including your signature and forward to FOI & Privacy Policy Section at the above address, or email to [email address].
Should you choose to pay by EFT the department’s bank account details are as follows:
• Bank: CBA

• Account Number: 10016044
• Account Name: DIBP Official Administered Direct Credit Receipts Account.
When making the transfer you will need to quote the number of your request - FA 14/04/00806 - so that your payment can be identified by our Finance area. Failure to do so may result in payments not being identified as FOI related and could result in processing delays.
Please advise FOI when you have made the payment made by direct credit so that we can contact the Finance area and they can issue a receipt. You should also be aware that payments by direct credit are not processed in real time. There is at least a one day delay between somebody paying money into the department's account and notification of the payment via our bank account statement.
