This FOI release documents administrative correspondence between the National Archives of Australia and the Department of Health regarding a researcher's Section 40 request for records not held in archival custody. The August 2014 request sought 152 applications from that year, which the National Archives forwarded to the Department of Health for location and transfer to the NAA Reading Room. A follow-up email from August 2025 indicates the department had not responded to the original request or confirmed whether the records were located, transferred, or destroyed. The disclosure contains no clinical data, regulatory assessments, drug or vaccine information, or health policy content—it is purely a records management matter tracking an archival request's status across a decade-long timeframe.
