Dear Mr Grant

 

Thank you for your email of 24 June 2025 in which you made a request under
the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) to the Department of the
Prime Minister and Cabinet (the Department).  You set out the terms of
the request as follows:

 

I would like to request under the Freedom of Information Act video or
audio recordings or verbatim transcripts of the most recent Audit and Risk
Committee or whichever committee is the committee established by s 45 of
the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. I am not
asking for meeting papers or minutes or lists of action items.

 

Timeframe for receiving your decision

The 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the
day after the Department received your request, you should therefore
expect a decision from us by 24 July 2025. The processing period of 30
days may be extended in certain circumstances and we will write to you
separately regarding any extension of time. 

 

Charges

Agencies may decide that an applicant is liable to pay a charge in respect
of a request for access to documents. If the Department decides that you
are liable to pay a charge, we will send you a preliminary assessment of
the charge as soon as possible. 

 

Publication of documents

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log at
[1]https://www.pmc.gov.au/government/depart...,
subject to certain exceptions. If you think you might wish to raise any
objections to the publication of your requested document, which may be
released to you, please contact us by email at [2][DPMC request email].  If you
do wish to object to the publication of information, you would need to set
out your reasons.

 

Exclusion of officers’ names and contact details

For documents that fall within scope of the request, it is the
Department’s policy to withhold:

 

·        any person’s signature;

·        the names and contact details of Australian Public Service
officers not in the Senior Executive Service (SES);

·        the mobile or direct numbers of SES officers;

·        the names and contact details of Ministerial staff at a level
below Chief of Staff.

 

If you consider the information categorised above is relevant to the terms
of your request please let us know at [3][DPMC request email], otherwise we will
take it that you agree this category of information may be reasonably
regarded as irrelevant and we will delete this information if it appears
in the documents that are otherwise responsive to your request.  The
names and other details of SES officers will not be withheld unless there
is some reason for that information to be exempt from release.

 

Further information on FOI processing can be found at the website of the
Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at
