State and Territory Check-In Apps
Your request was received by Services Australia (the Agency) on 22 December 2022, and
the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after that
date. As you agreed to an extension of time on 22 December 2022, you should expect to
receive a decision from us by 6 February 2023.
The Agency wil advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the amount of
any such charge as soon as practicable. No charge is payable for providing a person with
their own personal information.

on the Agency's website. Section 11C of the FOI Act requires this publication, however it is
subject to certain exceptions, including where publication of personal, business, professional
or commercial information would be unreasonable.
Exclusion of junior staff details
The agency is working towards ensuring that 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

assume that these details are out of scope of your request and they wil be redacted under
section 22 of the FOI Act.

processing time and applicable charges.
