Dear Posty,
Request - administrative access
I refer to your request received by Services Australia (
the agency) on 12 March 2022 for

Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
the FOI Act) to the following
documents:
‘On the Information Publication Scheme (IPS) Agency Plan page on your website it
states:
"b) the processes and timetable for identifying information required to be published
under section 8(2) of the FOI Act and for publishing additional information under
section 8(4) of the FOI Act Each branch of the agency is responsible for the day to
day tasks associated with complying with the IPS. For example, National Managers
are responsible for ensuring that operational information is kept up to date on our
operational information page. Consideration about whether operational information
should be published is an integral part of this process.
To support this process, we have a guide for staff which describes processes to be
followed internally to ensure published information is accurate, up to date and
complete helps staff identify what needs to be published under the IPS describes

do not extend to information or materials of third parties.
The agency has identified one document, totalling nine pages, that relates to your request.
We have determined that this document is suitable for release via these administrative
arrangements. This means that your FOI request has been addressed by making this
document available via these administrative arrangements, and so the FOI request is now
taken to be withdrawn.
