Good afternoon,

Thank you for submitting a request for access to information you believe to be held by AUSTRAC. In accordance with section 15(5)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), I formally acknowledge receipt of your freedom of information request for access to:

‘The Privacy Impact Analysis for FINTEL Alliance Collaborative Analytics Hub’s first project which is described on this page on your website: https://www.austrac.gov.au/harnessing-da...
If no PIA was undertaken I request the records relating to whether a PIA was required or not.’

Under section 15(5)(b) of the FOI Act the statutory time frame for processing a request is 30 days, within which a decision on access to the requested documents is to be notified. We received your request on 26 June 2025 and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after that date.

Charges
AUSTRAC may impose a charge for the work involved in providing access to the documents in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Charges) Regulations. If your request for access to documents attracts a charge, you will be notified in writing. Note: There is no charge for documents that contain the personal information of the applicant.

Exclusion of non-SES staff details, and SES staff contact details
AUSTRAC’s policy is to exclude the details (name, position title, telephone and/or mobile number, and email address) of officers not in the Senior Executive Service (SES), as well as the contact details (telephone and/or mobile number and email address) of SES staff, contained in documents that fall within scope of an FOI request. If you require names, position titles and contact details of non-SES officers, or the contact details of SES staff, please inform us so that the decision maker may consider your request.  Otherwise, we will take it that you agree to the information being excluded from the scope of your request.

If you have any questions in relation to your request, or require further information, please contact the Privacy and Information Access team via [email address] and quote reference PIAT-6908.

Regards

Dear ND

Thank you for your Freedom of Information (FOI) request dated 26 June
2025, seeking access to:

“I request under the FOI Act, the Privacy Impact Analysis for FINTEL
Alliance Collaborative Analytics Hub’s first project which is described on
this page on your website:
[1]https://www.austrac.gov.au/harnessing-da...

I am writing to seek a 30 day extension of time, under section 15AA of the
FOI Act, to process your request. This would result in a new due date of
27 August 2025.

The relevant business area has identified documents in scope of the
request. However, due to high workloads, the Privacy and Information
Access team require additional time to review the documents and finalise
your request. I therefore seek your agreement to extend the legislative
time period by 30 days.

I appreciate your consideration of this extension. Please do not hesitate
to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

     
Jasmina Harrar | Team Leader, Privacy and Information Access Team
