Dear Shaun
I refer to your application under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
Act) requesting access to:
"Documents regarding right to deny rights…There is no publicly available
document that reads/states (or is similar to): 1. "Victoria's Chief Health
Officer (or assign) or a PUBLIC SERVANT or qualified employee of the
Victoria Department of Health and Human Services can deny or defer a man
(or woman) right"; 2. "Victoria's Chief Health Officer (or assign) or a
PUBLIC SERVANT or qualified employee of the Victoria Department of Health
and Human Services can deny or defer a man (or woman) liberty"; i, require
the internal documents: policy or directive or law (or other documents)
that make the above (or similar) claims/statements (point 1 and 2) and the
name of the qualified employee or assign (or other) that made it."
Your application was received on 1 November 2021.
Invalid request – Application fee required
The Act provides that an application fee of $30.10 must accompany each
request. In the current circumstances, the department's preferred method
of payment is via the Victorian Government's online FOI portal at the
below link:
[1]https://online.foi.vic.gov.au/foi/reques...
Please quote your reference number (F21/2102) in the "Request Details"
section of the online form. You do not need to provide the wording of your
request again.
The Act also provides that the application fee may be waived or reduced if
payment of the fee would cause financial hardship. If you consider this to
be the case the fee may be waived or reduced on production of evidence of
how the payment of the application fee would cause you hardship.
As stated on the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner’s
website, an applicant should provide evidence of hardship when they are
requesting an agency to waive or reduce the application fee:
‘If you request the application fee to be waived or reduced, you should
provide evidence of hardship – for example, a concession or health care
card, a bank statement, or statutory declaration outlining why payment
would cause you hardship.’
Please note your request cannot proceed until the application fee or
evidence of hardship has been received as it is not a valid request.
I would appreciate it if you would respond by Tuesday 23 November 2021
otherwise I will assume that you do not wish to proceed and no further
action will be taken by the department.
Anticipated delays in processing
Please also note that, due to a high volume of requests, we are currently
experiencing significant delays in processing times. Once you have made
your request valid, you may be contacted in the course of processing your
request to seek an extension of time for providing a decision on your
request.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
If you have any questions in relation to your request, please direct all
correspondence relating to your request to [2][email address].
