FORMAL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST: SYSTEM-WIDE AUDIT & COMMUNICATIONS TRAIL
To:
FOI Officer, Services Australia (FOI@servicesaustralia.gov.au)
CC: Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, AFCA, and relevant oversight desks.
From:
Thomas Brecelic (Frank Russell)
Warrnambool, Victoria
Subject: Comprehensive FOI Request: All internal notes, cross-agency flags, metadata tags, and communication trails concerning Thomas Brecelic / Ivan Brecelic.
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I hereby formally request access to documents of which the agency has possession, construed in the broadest possible legal and administrative terms, covering the entirety of my interactions, file notes, employment provider logs, and inter-agency disclosures.
Scope of Request (Broad-Spectrum Index):
Complete Digital & Physical File History: Every internal electronic case note, risk flag, vulnerability indicator, security restriction, and administrative comment recorded across all Services Australia databases, Centrelink systems, and specialized compliance queues concerning the applicant.
Cross-Agency & Third-Party Correspondence: All emails, internal memos, meeting transcripts, briefing notes, and phone call logs shared between Services Australia, employment services providers (including APM Box Hill), the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR), external dispute bodies (including AFCA), and any state or federal department referencing the applicant from January 1, 2023, to the present date.
Automated & AI Decision-Making Metadata: Any algorithms, automated sorting tags, data-matching flags, or risk-scoring models applied to the applicant's file, including internal communications regarding how participation reports, compliance demerits, or wage-subsidy attribution disputes (such as those involving The Loft Café and Energex/Verifact job files) were processed or reviewed.
Staff Communications & Deletions: All records of correspondence, instructions, or internal reviews concerning the handling, restriction, or deletion of emails sent by the applicant to agency staff or external review officers.
Given the systemic public interest in administrative transparency, regulatory compliance, and the digital tracking of citizens within social service frameworks, I request a full and unredacted disclosure of all trapped metadata, routing histories, and internal administrative commentary.
Please acknowledge receipt of this request and provide a formal reference number (such as previous iterations like LEX indices) as a matter of statutory priority.
Sincerely,
Thomas Brecelic (Frank Russell)
