Internal briefing on the NDIS New Framework Planning model
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request access to the document or documents described below.
Documents sought: the internal briefing provided to NDIA staff about the "New Framework Planning model" which informed staff of changes to the NDIS planning process. According to media reports and Senate Estimates testimony on or around 3 December 2025, NDIA executives referred to an internal briefing about the new planning framework. I seek a copy of this briefing and any attachments or cover emails.
Timeframe: please limit this request to documents created between 1 October 2025 and 31 December 2025.
I exclude from scope any personal contact details of staff below the Senior Executive Service level and any duplicate documents.
If you have any questions about this request or believe that a different form of release is more appropriate, please let me know.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Pietsch
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
I am happy to agree to an extension of time, though I would like to request a scoping meeting as soon as practicable to discuss the request after initial searches have been conducted, to help refine the direction of the investigation and reduce any administrative burden or voluminous document releases.
I am happy to redact employee names below the SES band.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Pietsch
