Good morning

 

Acknowledgement of your Freedom of Information Request No: LEX 35460

 

I refer to your request received by the Department of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Forestry (department) on 8 February 2026 for access to the
following documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act):

 

‘Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I seek emails or briefs
regarding SES remuneration at the Department of Agriculture Fisheries &
Forestry. I seek all such materials sent by or to the Secretary or Deputy
Secretaries, since 1 July 2025.’

 

Your address

The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. You have advised your electronic address is
[1][FOI #14274 email]. We will send all notices
and correspondence to this address.

 

Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish for correspondence to be
sent to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise
us of changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to
be sent to the address specified above.

 

Disclosure log

 

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may be published
in a disclosure log on the department's website. Section 11C of the FOI
Act requires this publication, however it is subject to certain
exceptions, including where publication of personal, business,
professional or commercial information would be unreasonable.

 

Exclusion of junior department employee details

 

The department is working towards ensuring that all employees have a
choice about whether they provide their full name and direct contact
details in response to public enquiries. Where such details are included
in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable
charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt
under the FOI Act. On this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will
assume that these details are out of scope of your request and they will
be redacted under section 22 of the FOI Act.

If you have any questions, please email [2][email address].
