The request is waiting for clarification. If you are James Smith, please sign in to send a follow up message.

Dear SA Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources,

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

I request documents related to the ten most recent instances where an employee has sought information, advice, guidance, or opinion on their social media use in a private capacity.

I limit the scope of documents to:
- the original request from the employee
- the agency/department's response
- any follow-up questions and response
- only those sent to a relevant HR / conduct / social media (or similar) team (rather than managers across all areas of the organisation)
- where the original request was created in the last 2 years

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,

James Smith

Dear Mr Smith

Thank you for your email.

Your request for information cannot proceed as an FOI application because
it does not meet the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 1991.

For your request for information to be valid application in accordance
with the provisions of the Act (section 13), an application for access to
an agency's document—

(a)            must be in writing; and

(b)            must specify that it is made under this Act; and

(c)            must be accompanied by such application fee as may be
prescribed; and

(d)            must contain such information as is reasonably necessary to
enable the document to be identified; and

(e)            must specify an address in Australia to which notices under
this Act should be sent; and

(f)             must be lodged at an office of the agency, and may request
that access to the document be given in a particular way.

You are requested to complete and submit an [1]FOI application form and
return it to DEWNR with the application fee (or evidence of your valid
concession card to qualify for a fee waiver).   Your application cannot
proceed until the fee requirement is met and you have provided a mailing
address in Australia for notices.  When a valid application is received,
communications can occur via email.
