Agendas and Minutes of Payments System Board Meetings for 2024 Onwards
Dear Reserve Bank of Australia,
This is a Freedom of Information Request for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
I seek access to the agendas and minutes generated for the meetings of the following Payments System Board Meetings:
a. 29 February 2024
b. 23 May 2024
c. 15 August 2024
d. 21 November 2024
e. 6 March 2025
f. 5 June 2025
Please exclude duplicates and documents already publicly released,
including media releases, reports, articles and statements to the media.
Please limit emails to the final message in the chain as long as previous
messages are captured.
I agree to having the names and direct contact details of non-senior staff removed, however I request that redactions do not include non-personally identifying information. For example, please leave the domain and job titles when redacting email addresses or signature blocks on emails.
I preemptively agree to requests for third party consultation if necessary, but would prefer that my information about my identity is not shared with those consulted.’
Yours faithfully,
Glenn Hamiltonshire
Sent request to Reserve Bank of Australia again.
Dear Mr Hamiltonshire
In terms of the FOI Act 1982 I confirm receipt on Wednesday 6 August 2025 of your request below and advise that processing of it commenced on 7 August 2025.
Please be advised that, consistent with the provisions of the Information Publication Scheme, the Bank’s policy is to release all documents provided to applicants under the FOI Act 1982 on the Bank’s FOI disclosure log close to the same time they are provided to the applicant. The publication of any FOI related documents on our website will also be notified to the Bank’s RSS feed subscriber list.
We note your agreement to redact (in terms of section 22) the names and/or identifying material of junior officers (below Deputy Head of Department level) and further advise that for all our requests, we typically also redact email and phone contact details for senior staff from any documents designated for release in relation to your request. These intentions do not include position titles (except in very rare cases where release of a title would facilitate identification of a junior officer) but in any case, we doubt very many (if any) junior officer details will be captured.
Yours sincerely
Phil Lomas | Manager, FOI
