The Department of Home Affairs released a summary of hotel-type Accommodation for Persons in Detention (APODs) across Australian states and territories. The disclosure identifies 53 hotel-motel style detention facilities nationally, with distribution varying significantly by jurisdiction: one state/territory has zero facilities, while another operates 20. The specific state and territory identifiers were redacted under section 47E(d), preventing identification of which jurisdictions operate which numbers of facilities. The document notes this information was provided specifically for the FOI request and emphasizes the responsibility of relevant areas to ensure disclosure complies with the Australian Border Force Act, Australian Privacy Principles, and other applicable legislation.
