Dear Mr Smith
Freedom of Information Request- Decision
I refer to your request to the Department of the Treasury (the
Treasury) on 7 July 2020, for access under
the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
FOi Act) to the following:
A document that contains the total number of non-APS staff, filling equivalent roles to actual APS
staff in your department.
Typically these employees are ostensibly employed through labour hire agencies, and fulfil
functionally equivalent roles to their colleagues.
If no such document exists please advise.
I am an authorised decision maker under section 23 of the FOi Act.
Decision
The Treasury holds no documents within the scope of your request.
I arranged for officers in my division to search Treasury records for material relevant to your request. I am
satisfied that no such documents exist.
Section 17(1)(c) of the FOi Act provides that an agency can produce a written document containing the
requested information, by the use of a computer or other equipment that is ordinarily available for
retrieving or collating stored information. The Treasury does not store the information you have requested
in a manner in which we are able to produce a computer generated document to fulfil this request under
section 17 of the FOi Act.
I am, therefore, refusing your request under section 24A(1) of the FOi Act.
