Dear Mr Owen, 
Your Freedom of Information (FOI) Request 
I refer to your request dated 8 September 2018 for access to documents
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act). You sought the
following information:
I would like to access the Memorandum of Understanding between the ATO and
the Department of Human Services regarding the use of ATO data.
 
I note your FOI request through the Right to Know website to the
Department of Human Services (DHS), also made on 8 September 2018,
seeking:
 
I would like to access the document "memorandum of understanding" between
the ATO and DHS regarding the use of ATO data for DHS purposes. 
 
On 24 September 2018, in correspondence with DHS, you clarified that the
scope of your request was as follows:
 
To assist in narrowing the request I provide the following statement.
 
I seek any Memorandum of Understanding that specifically applies to the
Child Support Program and the Australian Taxation Office.
 
I seek only current Memorandum of Understandings.
 
I seek any Memorandum of Understanding that applies to the Child Support
Program:
 
1. Accessing data of individual clients from the Australian Taxation
Office.
2. Data exchange for the purpose of verifying incomes on a mass basis.
3. When fraud is detected as committed by clients of the Child Support
Program - specifically tax related fraud, and Child Support fraud.
4. When fraud is detected as committed by Child Support Program Employees
using Australian Taxation Office data.
 
Your request to the ATO is framed in broadly the same terms as your
request to the DHS.  I ask you to confirm that your 24 September
clarification around scope as provided to DHS also applies to your FOI
request made to the ATO.
 
Yours faithfully,
 

FOI
General Counsel
Australian Taxation Office
