Dear Josh,

On 24 November 2025, the Australian National University (the University) received your request for access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).

The University has taken your request to be as follows:

“… the meeting agenda, notes and papers for the College of Science Executive meeting, in the period 10 October to 2 November 2024.”

Your request has been assigned the case number 202500302.

Processing Timeframe

The statutory time frame for processing your request is 30 calendar days from day after the date your request was received by the University. You should therefore expect a decision from us by Wednesday 24 December 2025.

This period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties, impose a charge or for other reasons. We will advise you in writing if this happens.

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact. If you have any questions regarding your request, please feel free to contact the FOI Team via the functional email [ANU request email].

The FOI Team’s workload is currently at very high levels due to the unprecedented volume of FOI requests.

We are using our best endeavours to process all requests expeditiously however there may be some slippage due to the current workload. We will keep in touch with you and advise if there are any significant delays, and will, if necessary, seek extensions as permitted by the Act.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Joyce,

I refer to your below request for access to documents under the FOI Act, regarding the meeting agenda for a College of Science Executive meeting around October/November 2024.

Clarification Sought

There are two College of Science Executive Committee meetings that fall just outside of your specified time parameters:

1. 2 October 2024
2. 6 November 2024

Could you please clarify which meeting you meant for this access request?

If you could get back to us ideally by COB this Thursday 27 November 2025, that would be appreciated and will help us process your request.

Thank you for your engagement.

Yours sincerely,
