Dear Mr Gannon
Freedom of Information
Section 17(2) Notice of Refusal
I refer to your application under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) requesting
access to:
“1. How many VG70 AEONMED machines did Victoria Health instruct Monash Health
to purchase? Any documentation related to this question. 2. What instructions were
provided to Monash Health and documents? Any documentation related to this
question. 3. Did Victoria Health prescribe a selection process and due diligence and if
so related documentation? Any documentation related to this question. 4. Where
McKinsey or EY involved in the instruction process or contract assessment? Any
documentation related to this question. 5. Were instructions issued to purchase from a
specific dealer (Pop-Up, New Established Dealer or unathorised dealer)? Any
documentation related to this question. 6. Who did Victoria Health receive instruction
to purchase VG70 AEONMED units? Any documentation related to this question. 7.
Any documentation Monash provided back to Victoria Health as to the purchase of
VG70 units? Any documentation related to this question."
I also refer to my correspondence dated 4 May 2022 in which I requested that the application
fee be provided or your request would be refused as it is not a valid request. A copy of this
correspondence is attached. Following this, you replied to my correspondence querying how
to submit payment on 19 May 2022, to which I responded with how to do so on 27 May 2022.
A copy of these correspondences is also attached.
As you have not responded to my correspondence, I formally advise you of my decision to
refuse to process your application under section 17(2) of the Act, as it is not a valid FOI request.
Complaint Rights
If you are not satisfied with my decision you have the right to apply to the Office of the Victorian
Information Commissioner (the Commissioner) and make a complaint. A complaint needs to
be made in writing within 60 days.
I have enclosed a fact sheet providing further information on making a request for a complaint
to the Commissioner.
Yours sincerely
