Dear Office of the Australian Information Commissioner,
I request copy of any currently used document of the OAIC (which the FOI Act states is any document is in the possession of the agency, whether created in the agency or received in the agency) that sets out how any service complaint about the OAIC, any foi complaint about the performance of functions or the exercise of powers under the FOI Act made by the OAIC, any IC review requested on an OAIC FOI decision, and any privacy complaint about any act taken by the OAIC, is to be managed by the OAIC.

Dear Office of the Australian Information Commissioner,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Office of the Australian Information Commissioner's handling of my FOI request FOIREQ22/00199 'Policy on management of service complaints, foi complaints, and privacy complaints about the OAIC'.
It is clear an inadequate search has been performed by the original delegate given the OAIC holds/controls access to documents in scope (unlike the guidelines), given the OAIC's own references to these D reference documents in documents released here on Right to Know.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/p...
Ciao
Julie
Dear OAIC - Legal,
