Education - FOI, Department of Education

Dear Trudy,

Thank you for your email. You have contacted the Australian Government Department of Education (the department).

It appears that you are seeking to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act). Under the FOI Act, a request must:
• be in writing
• state that the request is an application for the purposes of the FOI Act
• provide enough information about the documents so that we can identify them
• provide an address for reply.

Currently, your request does not meet the requirements of a valid request under the FOI Act. This is because the request is a request for information and not documents.

The department is not responsible for the day-to-day administration, management and operation of state schools. Noting the details in your correspondence and the information you are seeking to access, it appears you may have intended to direct your email to the Queensland Department of Education, which is responsible for the administration of Queensland state schools including Southport Special School. You can find their contact page here: https://alt-qed.qed.qld.gov.au/about-us/...

Nevertheless, relevant business areas within the department have conducted searches for any complaints made by parents or other parties in relation to Southport Special School and I am advised that the department has not received any such complaints.

Noting the above, the department will take no further action in relation to your email. However, if you intended to make a valid FOI request to the department, please let us know at [email address].

Kind regards,

Freedom of Information Team
Australian Government Department of Education
