FOI Request: FA 25/08/00805

File Number: FA25/08/00805

Dear Oliver Smith

Acknowledgement of Freedom of Information Access request

This letter acknowledges that on 8 August 2025 the Department of Home
Affairs (the Department) received your request to access documents held
by the Department under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI
Act). This letter also provides important information about your request.

Scope of request

You have requested access to the following:

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request access to documents
held by the Department of Home Affairs relating to the exchange of
immigration-related information between Australia and foreign governments.

This request is made with reference to publicly known data-sharing
practices, such as:
• The ability of Australian authorities to identify
individuals with prior visa refusals from Canada;
• The ability of New Zealand authorities to verify
Australian permanent residence holders through immigration information
exchanges.

Accordingly, I seek access to the most current version (regardless of
original creation date) of any of the following types of documents,
provided they are still in effect or in active use by the Department:
     1.         Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), agreements, protocols,
or standard operating procedures that govern the sharing of
immigration-related information between Australia and foreign governments
— including but not limited to:
     •           Visa refusals, cancellations, or alerts;
     •           Visa or residency status (including permanent residency);
     •           Travel history;
     •           Biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, facial recognition).
     2.         Internal departmental guidelines, procedures, or policy
frameworks that explain:
     •           How information from foreign governments (including but
not limited to Canada and New Zealand) is accessed, verified, and used in
the processing of Australian visa applications;
     •           Whether such information is considered in the context of
Public Interest Criteria, such as PIC 4020;
     •           Safeguards or limitations on the use of shared
information (e.g., retention, consent, re-use restrictions).

This request excludes:
• Case-specific records or operational logs;
• Personal information, which I consent to being redacted.
.

Your request has been allocated FOI request number FA 25/08/00805 . Please
include your FOI request number in all correspondence with the Freedom of
Information Section.

Timeframe

The timeframe for processing a request is 30 days from the day we receive
your request, as set out in the FOI Act.

Your review rights in relation to your request are available on [1]Freedom
of information reviews | OAIC.

Fees and Charges

Charges do not apply to requests from individuals seeking access to
documents about themselves. However, a charge may apply to all other
requests for access to documents.

Charges are based on the amount of time the Department spends on your
request. Charges can range from $10 to over $1,000 depending on the
complexity and scope of your request. The Office of the Australian
Information Commissioner reported that across the public service, the
average charge notified was $335.50 in 2020-21.

If a charge applies, you will be issued with a Notice of Charge that
explains the charge and your options.

Detailed information about FOI charges that may apply to your FOI request
is available on [2]the Department’s website.

We do not provide personal details of staff or non-public facing
operational email addresses

The Department’s practice is to exclude the personal details of Government
employees, including contractors, not in the Senior Executive Service
(SES), as well as the direct contact details of SES staff, contained in
documents that fall within scope of an FOI request. If you require
personal details of non-SES officers, or direct contact details of SES
staff, please inform us so the decision maker may consider your request.
Otherwise we will take it that you agree to that information being
excluded from the scope of your request as irrelevant under section
22(1)(a)(ii) of the FOI Act. However names of staff that have previously
been released in departmental correspondence may be disclosed.

We do not provide duplicated documents

If the FOI decision-maker deems a document to be a duplicate, they will
not assess those pages as part of your FOI request. This means that if a
there is a decision to release the document to you, you will receive only
one copy, even if multiple copies of that document exist.

Publication of document

Released documents you request may be published to our website.

Where documents are released to you in response to your request, the
Department may be required to publish these documents on its website
within 10 working days in accordance with section 11C of the FOI Act.
Publication will not be required where the documents contain personal or
business affairs information.

How to reduce or withdraw your request

Reducing the scope of your request can reduce the time and charges
associated with processing your FOI request.

To reduce or withdraw your request, contact the FOI section at
[3][Department of Home Affairs request email] and include your FOI request number.

Contacting the FOI Section

Should you wish to discuss your request you may contact the FOI Section at

Good morning, Oliver Smith (Right to Know),

I refer to your request received on 8 August 2025 for access to documents
under the FOI Act. 

The current due date for your request is 7 September 2025.

The scope of your request is as follows:

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request access to documents
held by the Department of Home Affairs relating to the exchange of
immigration-related information between Australia and foreign governments.

This request is made with reference to publicly known data-sharing
practices, such as:

• The ability of Australian authorities to identify
individuals with prior visa refusals from Canada;

• The ability of New Zealand authorities to verify
Australian permanent residence holders through immigration information
exchanges.

Accordingly, I seek access to the most current version (regardless of
original creation date) of any of the following types of documents,
provided they are still in effect or in active use by the Department:

1. Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), agreements,
protocols, or standard operating procedures that govern the sharing of
immigration-related information between Australia and foreign governments
— including but not limited to:

• Visa refusals, cancellations, or alerts;

• Visa or residency status (including permanent
residency);

• Travel history;

• Biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, facial
recognition).

2. Internal departmental guidelines, procedures, or
policy frameworks that explain:

• How information from foreign governments
(including but not limited to Canada and New Zealand) is accessed,
verified, and used in the processing of Australian visa applications;

• Whether such information is considered in the
context of Public Interest Criteria, such as PIC 4020;

• Safeguards or limitations on the use of shared
information (e.g., retention, consent, re-use restrictions).

This request excludes:

• Case-specific records or operational logs;

• Personal information, which I consent to being
redacted.

In order for the Department to complete the consultation process with the
relevant business areas, assess the documents provided and the decision
making process in relation to the documents that fall within the scope of
your request, the Department will require additional time to process your
request.

The Department seeks your agreement under section 15AA of the FOI Act to
extend the timeframe for the processing of your request by 30 days.  This
would extend the due date for your request to Tuesday, 7 October 2025. 

The Department will endeavour to process your request before this date.

It would assist the Department in managing its FOI caseload if you could
provide a response to this request by close of business, Monday, 18 August
2025.

If you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to
contact me by return email.

Kind Regards

FOI Request: FA 25/08/00805

File Number: FA 2508/00805

Dear Oliver Smith

I refer to your email dated 8 August 2025, in which you requested access
to documents held by the Department of Home Affairs (the Department) under
the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).

You have requested access to the following:

information (e.g., retention, consent, re-use restrictions).

This request excludes:

• Personal information, which I consent to being redacted.
.

Intention to refuse request

I am writing to advise you that I intend to refuse your request on the
basis that a practical refusal reason exists. However, before I make a
final decision to do this, you have an opportunity to revise your request
to remove the practical refusal reason. This is called a ‘request
consultation process’. You have 14 days to respond to this notice in one
of the ways set out below.

Power to refuse request

Section 24 of the FOI Act provides that if the Department is satisfied
that a practical refusal reason exists in relation to a request, the
Department must undertake a consultation process with you, and if, after
that consultation process, the Department remains satisfied that the
practical refusal reason still exists, the Department may refuse to give
you access to the documents subject to the request.

Practical refusal

A practical refusal reason exists under section 24AA of the FOI Act if
either (or both) of the following applies:

(1)(a)(i) the work involved in the processing of the request would
substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of the Department from
its other operations

(1)(b) the request does not satisfy the requirement in section
15(2)(b) of the FOI Act, which requires you to provide such information
concerning the document you are seeking access to, to enable the
Department to be able to identify it.

I consider that the work involved in the processing of the request would
substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of the Department from
its other operations, and accordingly that practical refusal reasons exist
under section 24AA(1)(a)(i) of the FOI Act.

Reasons for practical refusal

The Department has made a preliminary assessment of the documents that
would be captured by your request.

I am satisfied that the Department would be required to divert significant
resources from its current operations in order to identify, locate and
collate the documents held within the Department, and to make a decision
on access to those documents. This diversion would result in a significant
drain on the resources of the area within the Department that would be
required to process this request.

I consider that this would result in this request imposing both a
substantial and an unreasonable diversion of resources of the Department
from its other operations and that a practical refusal reason exists in
relation to this request.

You now have an opportunity to revise your request to enable it to
proceed.

FOI and the relevant business area require your assistance to narrow the
scope of your request. Currently, the register contains 278 MOUs that
could potentially fall within the present scope of this FOI request.
Processing this request would unreasonably divert the resources of the
Department from its other operations.

To narrow the scope of your request we suggest you potentially nominate a
single country or topic e.g. visa refusals to allow for a more discrete
search to take place.

Under section 24AB(6) of the FOI Act, you have 14 days to do one of the
following:

· withdraw your request;

· make a revised request;

· indicate that you do not wish to revise your request.

If you do not do one of the three things listed above during the
consultation period (14 days), or you do not consult the contact person
listed below during this period, your request will be taken to have been
withdrawn in accordance with section 24AB(7) of the FOI Act.

Contact

Should you wish to revise your request or have any questions in relation
to this process, please do not hesitate to contact [Department of Home Affairs request email].

FOI Request: FA 25/08/00805

File Number: FA 2508/00805

Dear Oliver Smith

I refer to your email dated 8 August 2025, in which you requested access

to documents held by the Department of Home Affairs (the Department)
under

the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).

You have requested access to the following:

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request access to documents

held by the Department of Home Affairs relating to the exchange of

immigration-related information between Australia and foreign
governments.

This request is made with reference to publicly known data-sharing

practices, such as:

individuals with prior visa refusals from Canada;

• The ability of New Zealand authorities to verify

Australian permanent residence holders through immigration information

exchanges.

Accordingly, I seek access to the most current version (regardless of

provided they are still in effect or in active use by the Department:

1. Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), agreements, protocols,

or standard operating procedures that govern the sharing of

immigration-related information between Australia and foreign
governments

— including but not limited to:

• Visa refusals, cancellations, or alerts;

• Visa or residency status (including permanent
residency);

• Travel history;

• Biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, facial recognition).

2. Internal departmental guidelines, procedures, or policy

frameworks that explain:

• How information from foreign governments (including but

not limited to Canada and New Zealand) is accessed, verified, and used in

the processing of Australian visa applications;

• Whether such information is considered in the context of

Public Interest Criteria, such as PIC 4020;

• Safeguards or limitations on the use of shared
