FOI Request: FA 21/07/01058
Good afternoon
Offer to Withdraw Freedom of Information Access Request
I refer to your correspondence of 20 July 2021 seeking access to documents held by the Department of Home Affairs (the Department) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).
Your request has been allocated the FOI reference number referred to above. Please include your FOI reference number in all correspondence with the Freedom of Information Section.
As you may be aware, earlier this year the Department launched a dashboard on its SkillSelect website to provide visa Expression of Interest (EOI) statistics. The Department has undertaken a review of the SkillSelect Dashboard to ensure that there is no reasonable chance of an individual being re-identified from the EOI statistics.
The dashboard is now available again and can be accessed via the Department’s SkillSelect web page and comprises a comprehensive library of historic and current statistics in relation to Expressions of Interest (EOIs). The dashboard is a one-stop shop for SkillSelect EOI statistics and is freely available on demand, without any need to formally request the statistics and wait for such a request to be processed. Bypassing the FOI process will significantly reduce delays in obtaining the same information as has previously been provided in response to FOI requests.
As this information is now publically available, you may wish to withdraw you FOI request. If you do not advise the Department that you wish to continue with this FOI request within 5 days of this email, your request will be taken to have been withdrawn.
Privacy
The Department’s handling of personal information is regulated by the Privacy Act 1988 (the Privacy Act). Guidance published by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner is that information will be de-identified, and therefore not subject to the protections in the Privacy Act, where the risk of an individual being re-identified is very low. De-identification is not a fixed state. Rather, re-identification risks and their controls require ongoing monitoring and review.
The Department’s view is that the current controls are appropriate to reduce the risk that an individual can be re-identified from the statistics accessible from the SkillSelect Dashboard to very low.
Contacting the FOI Section
Should you wish to discuss your request you may contact the FOI Section at [Department of Home Affairs request email]

Dear FOI,
FOI Request: FA 21/07/01058
The problem is, in the skillselect dashboard I am able to see only two columns at time, i.e could be occupation and points. What information I want is having three columns presenting one column of occupation (which is 262112), other column presenting no EOI's submitted month wise (as at date 30-Jun-2021), and third column at what points EOI's submitted (eg: 85,90, 95 etc).
As I'm unable to see three columns at a time I'm requesting you to please provide the following information.
Can you please share the information of submitted EOI's under 189 & 190 (NSW) as at date 30-Jun 2021 at 80, 85, 90, 95 points.
For the following ANZSCO codes:
1. 262112- ICT security specialist
2. 262113- System Administrators
Yours sincerely,
Jitender Varma Vejella
