Request - administrative access
I refer to your request received by the Department of Human Services (
department) on
20 December 2019 for access under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI Act) to the
following:
'a copy of the "FOI Manual"'.
Administrative access
On 3 January 2020, the department acknowledged your request and advised that where
appropriate, it may be able to release documents to you through the department’s administrative
access arrangements, without the need for a formal FOI request. We did not receive any contrary
response from you in relation to this.
The department has identified one document (totalling 67 pages) which will be released to you
through the department's administrative process, outside of the FOI Act. Please find
attached a
copy of the requested document.
