Good evening,

 

On 6 October 2025, the Australian National University (the University)
received your request for access to documents under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).

 

The University has taken your request to be as follows:

 

 

“… any correspondence including emails, teams messages, whatsapp, signal
message, telegram or slack messages, to or from Prof Rebecca Brown that
mentions "Nous" and "Monash".”

 

 

Your request has been assigned the case number 202500252.

 

Refinement Sought

 

Are you able to please provide a date range for your request? This will
help our team understand the scope of your request.

 

We will keep in touch with you if any further refinements are needed for
us to process your request.

 

Processing Timeframe

 

The statutory time frame for processing your request is 30 calendar days
from day after the date your request was received by the University. You
should therefore expect a decision from us by 5 November 2025.

 

This period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third
parties, impose a charge or for other reasons. We will advise you in
writing if this happens.

 

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact. If you have
any questions regarding your request, please feel free to contact the FOI
Team via the functional email [1][ANU request email].

 

The FOI Team’s workload is currently at very high levels due to the
unprecedented volume of FOI requests.

 

We are using our best endeavors to process all requests expeditiously
however there may be some slippage due to the current workload. We will
keep in touch with you and advise if there are any significant delays, and
will, if necessary, seek extensions as permitted by the Act.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

FOI Team

University Governance Office

The Australian National University
