James Smith made this Freedom of Information request to Geoscience Australia as part of a batch sent to 43 authorities

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was successful.

Dear Geoscience Australia,

I seek access to the following documents under the Freedom
of Information Act 1982:

1. Current social media policy of the department, which covers
departmental use and/or private use by employees in an individual
capacity.

2. Any current guidance material which is available for employees to make informed decisions about their private social media use.

Yours faithfully,

James Smith

Sent request to Geoscience Australia again, using a new contact address.

Looks like we had an old email address for the FOI team, but the email was still accepted. Quite odd.

I've updated the address and resent all requests.
