Dear Jay
I refer to your email dated 7 June 2022 in which you request access to documents held by the
Department of Home Affairs (Department) under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI
Act).
You have requested access to:
The number of visa officers processing partner visas for each onshore post from 1 July 2021
to present (monthly).
On 14 July 2022, Department notified you of a requirement to pay a processing charge of $45.00
in respect of your request.
In particular, Department notified you that, within 30 days of receipt of that letter, you must
either:
• agree to pay the charge; or
• contend that the charge has been wrongly assessed, should be reduced, or should not
be imposed; or
• withdraw the request.
Department notified you that if, within 30 days of receipt of that letter, you failed to notify
Department of one of the above matters, your request would be considered to have been
withdrawn.
The 30 day period has now expired and Department does not appear to have heard from you in
response to that Notice. As such, in accordance with section 29 of the FOI Act, Department
considers that your request has been withdrawn.
