Attachments named in FOI 26-2264 LD – NDIS budget modelling documents
Dear Department of Health, Disability and Ageing,
I am writing to request the following attachments mentioned in disclosure log documents published as "FOI 26-2264 LD – NDIS budget modelling documents" last week. This is a request for the purposes of the FOI Act. Please consider the entire documents relevant except: personal information of non-SES DHDA staff or non-DHDA individuals; internal emails.
Please ensure consideration of exemptions gives due weight to the public interest factor of upholding Australia's obligations under the CRPD for people with disabilities to be actively involved in development of legislative and policy measures concerning them in their formative stages, and to be equal partners in monitoring implementation of the Convention at all stages, as required by section 3(1)(a) of the NDIS Act in giving effect to these obligations. These obligations require transparency.
