Scope of your request
You have requested access to the following documents about the National Disability Insurance

How many Assistance animals (Dogs) have been funded by the NDIA. Why is there still,
no consistency with this process or funding”
Unless you advise otherwise, we will take it that you agree to the names and contact details of
NDIA staff being excluded from the scope of your request (that is, the information will be treated
as irrelevant).
