How many people have sued the NDIA for drowning in a spa

Maree Maxfield made this Freedom of Information request to National Disability Insurance Agency

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

National Disability Insurance Agency did not have the information requested.

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

A delegate from the NDIS justified refusal for a portable spa for therapy during the long Covid lockdown period, offering the reason that if the person with a disability drowned in the spa, they would be sued. This form of therapy was recommended and supported by more than one highly qualified professional.

Can you please provide the numbers of people who have sued the NDIS for drowning in a spa?

Yours faithfully,

Maree Maxfield

foi, National Disability Insurance Agency
