Dear Australian Research Council,

I request access to the Style Guide for the Australian Research Council
Yours faithfully,

Dear Alex,
Thank you for your email, seeking access to information about the Style Guide for the Australian Research Council (ARC) under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act).
The ARC can give you administrative access to the requested information, i.e., outside of the FOI Act process. Administrative access arrangements coexist, but operate independently of the FOI Act, and provide a less formal mechanism for accessing information. You can read more about the advantages of administrative access in the OAIC FOI Guidelines at paragraphs 3.2 to 3.5 FOI Guidelines (oaic.gov.au). These advantages may include cost benefits and potentially quicker processing times. Importantly, gaining administrative access to information does not prevent you from making FOI Act requests for additional information in the future.
If you agree to receive the requested information through administrative access, please let us know as soon as possible by replying to this email. In your response, please also confirm that you agree to withdraw your FOI request, as the FOI legislation does not contemplate the two processes running concurrently. Once the ARC receives confirmation of your FOI request withdrawal, we will provide you with administrative access to the requested information.
Please note, if we do not hear from you by 11 August, we will proceed on the basis that you wish to continue with your FOI request and will continue to process it under the legislation, in accordance with statutory timeframes.
If you have any questions, please contact me to discuss.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Robinson
