FOI Delegations

Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Secretaries’ ICT Governance Board as part of a batch sent to 166 authorities

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was successful.

Dear Secretaries’ ICT Governance Board,

Under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act, the principal officer or minister can make arrangements to give their decision making powers to others.

I'm hoping you can provide me with a copy of the current arrangements if possible.

If it helps, I'm happy for you to process this request under "administrative release" (https://www.oaic.gov.au/freedom-of-infor...). This would reduce the cost and time required to make a formal decision.

That said, I understand sometimes you want the request to be formal. If you won't process it informally, please process my request for the document as a formal FOI Request.

Please note - While I volunteer for Right to Know, this request is made in a personal capacity and not on behalf of Right to Know.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Fairless

Dear Mr Fairless,

 

Thank you for your emails to the Department of Finance and Minister for
Finance seeking copies of FOI delegations/authorisations.

 

Finance is happy to provide you with the requested documents, wherever
possible, outside of the FOI Act.

instrument of authorisation, accessible here:

Authorisation for Minister for Finance

The Minister’s Chief of Staff has authorisation to make decisions under
the FOI Act.

 

Authorisation for Special Minister of State

As you may be aware, the current Special Minister of State (SMOS) was
appointed on 28 August 2018. The SMOS has not yet received an FOI request
and, as such, we have not enacted an instrument of authorisation as yet.

 

Authorisation for Secretaries’ ICT Governance Board and Comcover

The Secretaries’ ICT Governance Board (SIGB) and Comcover are not separate
agencies for the purposes of the FOI Act. As such, we do not hold separate

Minister Assisting for Deregulation

The list of the Current Ministry (as at 28 August 2018) is available
online at

will consider your requests finalised.

 

Kind regards
