Dear Mr Warren
I refer to your request under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) which we received
on 10 July 2020.
The FOI Act
permits an agency to transfer al or part of a request to another agency if the request
relates to documents that the other agency has (and the agency that received the request does not),
or documents that relate more closely to the other agency. The Ombudsman’s office commonly
transfers requests and part-requests that cover documents provided to the office by another agency
and which reflect the work of that agency rather than that of the Ombudsman’s office.
In relation to your FOI request, I have decided under s 16 of the FOI Act to transfer your request to
Services Australia. That agency is now responsible for processing your FOI request. If you wish to
contact Services Australia about your request, you may do so by e-mail to
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx
or post to
Freedom of Information
