Dear Megan,

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

The department is not responsible for the administration and operation of schools. State and territory governments are responsible for the operation and regulation of schools in their jurisdictions.

Noting the documents you are seeking to access, it appears you may have intended to direct your email to the relevant state or territory education department who are responsible for dealing with complaints related to schools’ operations. Information about how to contact other states’ and territories’ Departments of Education to make a FOI request will be available on their websites.

Noting the above, the department will take no further action in relation to your email and will consider your request withdrawn unless you tell us otherwise by COB Friday 8 March 2024. However, if you intended to make an FOI request to the department, please let us know at [email address].

Kind regards,

Freedom of Information Team
