Reference: BN22370466 
FOI 045/20/21 CORRECTION  
1. 
I refer to the application by Mr Alan Ashmore under the Freedom of Information Act 
1982 (FOI Act) for access to the following:  
“For each of the last 3 financial years I request the following: 
 
- The number of sexual abuse claims finalised [sic] by the ADF, 
 
- The number of claims finalised [sic] that were found to be in favour [sic] of the 
victim, 
 
- The total amount paid out by the ADF to these victims, and 
 
- The number of ADF personnel who as perpetrators of sexual abuse were disciplined 
or given an option of resigning.” 
Background 
2. 
On 1 September 2020 the Department of Defence (Defence) provided a response to this 
request releasing five documents in full and in part.  
3. 
Of the documents released, one document (one page) identified as ‘Item 1, Item 2, 
Item 3’ was released in response to this request. This document was created under 
section 17 of the FOI Act in which information was extracted from other documents to 
create the document.  
Correction 
4. 
It has been revealed that this document contained a typographical error in one figure. 
This error occurred when the figure was transposed out of the database and into the new 
document. The figure ‘$15,056.500’ should read ‘$15,056,500.00’. The corrected document is 
attached. 
Further information  
5. 
I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
