Dear Mr Banner
Acknowledgement of your Internal Review Request
I refer to your request for internal review of the Freedom of Information (FOI) decision made on 20
February 2023.
Decision on internal review
Your request was received by the Agency on 27 February 2023 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 29 March 2023.
In accordance with section 54C of the FOI Act a person (other than the person who made the original
decision) wil be the decision maker for this internal review.
Your Address
The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address to which we can send notices to. You have
advised your electronic 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 wil continue to be sent to the address specified
above.
Disclosure Log
Please note information released under FOI Act may be published in a disclosure log 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 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. On this basis,
unless you tell us otherwise, we wil assume that these details are out of scope of your request and
they wil be redacted under section 22 of the FOI Act.
