Hi Mark,

The web portal is owned and managed by the Department of Justice and Community Safety. They have not advised us of any issues.

Also, applicants are still submitting FOI requests through the portal, and they are coming through.

If you are still experiencing issues, please let me now and I can provide you with BSB and Account details for DTP so you can make a payment.

Regards,
Kristian
