Freedom of Information request - Acknowledgement
Thank you for your request of 15 April 2021, under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI
Act) for copies of documents held by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
Scope of your request
You have requested access to the following documents about the National Disability Insurance
Scheme (NDIS):
“...the recent March 2021 consultation paper on early intervention for children on the
autism spectrum was written with the help of 58 interviews and other input from relevant
organisations and experts. I would like to request the names of these organisations or
authorities/experts that were consulted during the writing of this paper. I would also like
records of what input was given, and how the input affected the specific details given in the
consultation paper”
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).
Processing timeframes
We received your request on 15 April 2021 and the 30-day statutory period for processing your
request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision from
us by
17 May 2021. The period may be extended if we need to consult with third parties or for other reasons. We will
advise you if this happens.
Charges
We may apply a processing charge to your request and will advise you as soon as practicable
if a charge is payable.
Disclosure Log Information released under the FOI Act may be published on the NDIA’s disclosure log located
on our website, subject to certain exceptions.
If you wish to raise any concerns about the publication of information concerning your request,
please contact us.
