Dear Sir / Madam
Acknowledgement of your Internal Review Request
I refer to your request for internal review of the Freedom of Information (FOI) decision made by an
authorised decision maker of Services Australia (the Agency) on 22 December 2022 (LEX 70430).
Decision on internal review
Your request was received by the Agency on 22 December 2022 and the 30 day statutory period for
processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a
decision from us by 21 January 2022. As this is a Saturday, you will be notified of the decision on the
next working day, 23 January 2023.
In accordance with section 54C of the FOI Act, a person other than the person who made the original
decision will be the decision maker for this internal review.
Your Address
The FOI Act requires you to provide us with an address to which we can send notices. You have
advised your email address is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx. We will send all
notices and correspondence to this address. Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish
correspondence to be sent to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise us of
changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to be sent to the address specified
above.
Exclusion of junior staff details
The Agency is working towards ensuring all staff have a choice about whether they provide their full
name, personal logon identifiers and direct contact details in response to public enquiries. Where such
details are included in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable charges
as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt under the FOI Act.
Further assistance
If you have any questions please email xxx.xxxxx.xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx.
Yours sincerely
Allison
