Dear FOI.LEGAL.TEAM,

I thank you for your response.

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.

I hope this clarifies what I am seeking.

Again, I state that this information is in the public interest to release, and in the spirit of the Open Government Partnership Program conducted by the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Yours sincerely,

Keith Owen

Although an application under the Freedom of Information Act 1983 of the Commonwealth of Australia does not require an application fee, agencies might demand payment of a fee to cover extra processing costs. If the fee is not paid, the request will not be processed.
