Decision on your Freedom of Information Request
I refer to your request to Services Australia dated 18 August 2020, for access under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI Act) to the following documents:
‘I request a copy of all documents which confirm the administrative procedures
undertaken as part of the process of verifying the identity of the applicant before
sending information to a postal or email address, if identity of the FOI applicant is
relevant to decision whether to release the documents.’
Administrative access
On 21 August 2020, I acknowledged your request and advised that Services Australia has
administrative access arrangements (
arrangements) for the release of certain documents
without the need for a formal FOI request. We advised that, unless you told us otherwise, we
would provide you with access to documents through the arrangements (outside the FOI
Act).
Services Australia has identified one document (totalling 8 pages) relevant to your request.
This document has been provided to you through the arrangements and your formal FOI
request has been taken to be finalised.
Please find
attached a copy of the document. Please note, information that is irrelevant to
the scope of your request has been removed.
Further assistance
