Dear Mae,
Confirmation of withdrawal of FOI request no. 2025/2316 I refer to your request for access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).
On 31 October 2025 you requested access to:
“I seek access to documents containing aggregated statistical information regarding
the performance of all General Members of the Administrative Review Tribunal
('ART') in National Disability Insurance Agency ('NDIA') review cases.
Scope and Timeframe
The required statistical data is to cover the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 August
2025.
I seek the production of a report, not the disclosure of existing discrete documents, as
permitted under section 17 of the FOI Act. The approach should mirror the style of the
report in decision document FOI Ref: 2025/1730 and specifically, include:
1. Total Annual Finalisations: A year-on-year breakdown of the total number of NDIA
review cases finalised by all General Members.
2. Outcome Breakdown: Of the total finalisations for each year, a breakdown showing
the number and percentage of outcomes that were:
* Favourable to the applicant (as defined in the precedent, including Consent -
Remitted, Consent - Set Aside, Heard and Remitted, and Heard and Set Aside).
* Unfavourable to the applicant (as defined in the precedent, including Application
Withdrawn, Consent - Dismissed, Heard and Affirmed, Dismissed, and No
Jurisdiction).
*. Consent - Varied, shown as a separate statistic where both parties reached a
mutual consent.
*. Processing Time: The average number of days for a final decision to be made in an
NDIA review case across all General Members, presented on a year-by-year basis
(calculated from the date the case was received by the Tribunal to the date of the
final outcome)..”
On 13 November 2025 we received an email from you advising that you wish to withdraw this
FOI request. I confirm that we have noted the withdrawal of this FOI request, and no further
action will be taken.
If you have any questions, please contact me via
xxx@xxx.xxx.xx.
Yours sincerely,
