Dear Alan Cole,
I refer to your below inquiry received by the Department of Defence (Defence) on 21 October 2025.
Unfortunately, in its current form your request is not considered valid under section 15(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act). Section 15(2) of the FOI Act provides that:
(2) The request must:
(a) be in writing; and
(aa) state that the request is an application for the purposes of this Act; and
(b) provide such information concerning the document as is reasonably necessary to enable a responsible officer of the agency, or the Minister, to identify it; and
(c) give details of how notices under this Act may be sent to the applicant (for example, by providing an electronic address to which notices may be sent by electronic communication).
In accordance with section 15(2)(b), you have not provided such information concerning the document/s as is reasonably necessary to enable a responsible officer of the agency to identify it.
The FOI Act enables a person to request access to existing documents held by an agency, and does not include providing information or answering questions in relation to particular subject. As you have sought access to information rather than provide sufficient detail regarding the actual document/s you are seeking access to, Defence is unable to identify the document/s subject to your inquiry.
