All Freedom of Information (FOI) requests are treated exactly the same, regardless of who the request is from and their occupation. The Department’s internal FOI case management system, which includes a colour-coding system, is used to track timeliness and progress of responses in addition to the sensitivity of the information in all FOI cases. The Department’s case management system helps evidence our compliance with our FOI obligations.
