Our reference: CP12/06677
Dear Ms Brown
Your complaint about the Australian Public Service Commission
I refer to your email about the Australian Public Service Commission (the APSC) received on 15 July 2012.
In your email you complained that the APSC had not responded to your requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) in a timely way.
Section 15(5) of the FOI Act sets out the timeframes for dealing with a request for information. This section requires agencies to acknowledge requests for information no later than 14 days after the day on which the request for information is received by the agency. If the day for responding falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the date for the agency to respond is the next working day after the Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
At this time it does not appear there has been a delay on the part of the APSC in acknowledging receipt of your FOI request.
Section 15(5) requires agencies to make decisions on requests for information no later than 30 days after the day on which the request for information is received. An agency can extend the time to process a request under ss 15AA, 15AB, 15AC or 15(6) of the FOI Act.
Our office is currently receiving a large number of complaints and applications for Information Commissioner review and as a consequence there will be a delay of more than six weeks in allocating your complaint to a case officer for processing. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Information about our complaint handling process is available on our website www.oaic.gov.au. You may also find the fact sheet “How to make a complaint” helpful, which you can access at:

To whom it may concern,
I refer to the two emails following that I sent to the Freedom of Information officer at the Australian Public Service Commission 7 and 14 days ago to which I have received no response.
I have already received documents from the APSC which clearly show a complete lack of compiance with Commonwealth Investigation standards and also show how the Commissioner Steve Sedgwick uses his position of power to cover-up corrupt practices in Government departments.
Under Freedom of Information I am requesting a copy of the emails or letters sent to Agency Heads requesting information on the allegations when a complaint is made under S16 or Section 41(F) of th Australian Public Service Act in the financial year 2009-20010.
I would appreciate a quick response.
Thanking you
Fiona Brown

Hi Chris ,
I emailed you last week and requested under Freedom of information that I obtain a copy of all the emails or similar sent to Agency Heads concerning complaints under S41 0f the APS Act in the past financial year. As yet I have received no reply.
I now also am seeking a copy Under Freedom of Information of the APS internal manuel for procedures for Government employees.
Thanking you
Fiona Brown
