Dear Freedom of Information Officer,

This is a formal request for access to documents under the *Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth).

I seek access to documents containing statistical information regarding the performance of General Member Stewart Fenwick in National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) review cases. I am requesting a summary of the data, not individual case files, and kindly ask that all personal information of third parties be de-identified.

The specific documents and information I am requesting are:

1. A year-on-year breakdown, from the last 10 years to the present, of the number of NDIS review cases finalised by General Member Stewart Fenwick.

2. Of these cases, a breakdown by year showing the number and percentage of outcomes that were:
a. Favorable to the applicant (e.g., set aside, varied in the applicant's favour).
b. Unfavorable to the applicant (e.g., affirmed).

3. The average number of days it took for a final decision to be made in an NDIS review case by General Member Stewart Fenwick, on a year-by-year basis. The calculation should be from the date the case was received by the Tribunal to the date of the final outcome.

As this request is for statistical data and does not relate to my personal affairs, I understand that processing charges may apply. However, I request that any potential charges be waived under Section 29(5)(b) of the Act on the grounds that the release of this information is in the public interest. The disclosure of these statistics would promote public scrutiny of the administrative review process and the accountability of a public official. This information will be used to better inform public discussion and is a matter of legitimate public interest.

I am prepared to consult with you to narrow the scope of this request if the work involved would substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of the agency.

Yours faithfully,

Mae
