This FOI disclosure concerns charges associated with a Freedom of Information request (FOI-3835) submitted to the Department of Health and Aged Care on 17 June 2022. The applicant initially received a charge liability of $495.00 (subsequently reduced to $247.50 on 5 September 2022) for processing the request, which identified ten relevant documents. The department granted full access to one document, partial access to five documents with deletions of exempt material, and refused access to four documents containing fully exempt information. Following the applicant's internal review request, the department waived the charge in full. The disclosure includes a payment receipt dated 6 July 2022 for $75.00 relating to a separate FOI request (FOI 3804), demonstrating the Department's fee collection procedures. No substantive health policy, clinical data, or regulatory information is revealed in this charges-focused disclosure.
