Dear Ms Goodman,

I refer to your request received on 16 November 2022 by the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions (DJPR) seeking documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).

Your reference ID is: 8662

I note you have indicated payment of the $30.60 application fee, which required for a request to be valid under s 17(2A) of the FOI Act, would cause you hardship. Thank you for providing your CRN. As DJPR is a state based entity, and CRNs are issued by a Commonwealth entity, we are unable to verify this information. In order to progress this matter, a copy of proof of financial hardship, such as a copy of your concession card, must be provided prior to COB Thursday 8 December 2022.

If the department does not receive evidence of financial hardship before the due date, we will presume you do not wish to proceed with the request and the matter will be closed.

Please feel free to contact the FOI unit at [email address] if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Section 33(1): Documents affecting personal privacy

Under the Act, section 33(1) exempts documents containing personal affairs

circumstances. This process requires consultation with any third parties
named in located documents and adds 15 days to the processing time of the

etc)?. If you are not seeking this information, there is no requirement to
consult with individuals regarding the release of any personal affairs
