Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

I refer to an article published in the Age, Sydney Morning Herald and other newspapers on 26 August 2025 by Natassia Chrysanthos, entitled 'After autism changes, Labor will still need to find billions more in NDIS savings'.

The article states: "Figures supplied to this masthead by the National Disability Insurance Agency reveal that about $3.1 billion in payments were made to 214,865 children with developmental delay and autism who have mild or moderate support needs in the 2024-25 financial year."

I request copies of all correspondence in relation to this, between the NDIA and the journalist (or between the NDIA and the media company for whom the journalist works), including copies of any request for information made by the journalist/media company to the NDIA, and all information supplied by the NDIA to the journalist/media company.

Yours faithfully,
David Wright
