Dear Perfectly Normal Applicant
Freedom of Information Request: Acknowledgement
Thank you for your request of 24 July 2025, made under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), for documents/information held by the
National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
Scope of your Request
You have requested access to:
“…May I please request an unredacted copy of the documents linked to on
page 1 of FOI 24/25-1470. Namely:
1. Slides 'Technical training...'
2. Transcript 's24(1)(a) presentation...'
3. 'Case study 1 ARF...'
4. 'Case study 1 psychologist...'
5. 'Case study 2 SEF...'
6. 'Case study 3 SEF...'
'Unredacted' except for personal information of non-SES…”
Irrelevant Information
Section 22 of the FOI Act allows an Agency to redact information from
documents if that information would reasonably be regarded as irrelevant
to a request for access.
Given the nature of your request, it does not seem that NDIA staff
members’ surnames and contact details would be relevant to you. Can you
please send me a reply email confirming that such details are irrelevant
to your request for access?
Processing Timeframes
In accordance with section 15(5)(b) of the FOI Act, a 30-day statutory
period for processing your request commenced from 25 July 2025. This
30-day period expires on 24 August 2025.
Disclosure Log
Subject to certain exceptions, documents released under the FOI Act will
be published on the NDIA’s disclosure log located on our website.
If you have any concerns about the publication of the documents you have
requested, please contact me.
Next steps
I have completed some preliminary work on your request; however, your
matter will be allocated to an authorised FOI decision-maker for any
further action. The decision-maker may need to contact you to discuss a
range of matters, including refining the scope of your request.
We shall contact you using the email address you have provided, please
advise if you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.
Further information can be found on our [1]Freedom of Information | NDIS
webpage.
Should you have any questions please contact us at [2][NDIA request email].

Dear foi,
Yes, for non-SES staff, surnames and contact details are irrelevant. My original scope that you quoted said as much. If I am permitting them to be redacted, I am saying they are not within scope and/or are irrelevant
Yours sincerely,
Perfectly Normal Applicant
Dear Perfectly Normal Applicant
I apologise for the delay in responding to your Freedom of Information
request, however we require further clarification before we can proceed.
You have requested documents linked on page 1 of FOI 24/25-1470, after
reviewing this matter, there doesn’t appear to be any documents linked on
page 1 of the documents supplied for FOI 24/25-1470. Further review
appears to show that the documents you are referencing are on Document 3
page 82, could you please confirm if this is correct?
If these are the correct documents you are looking to access, these have
already been supplied as part of FOI 24/25-1470:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|1. Slides 'Technical training...' |Document 4 of 24/25-1470 |
| | |
| | |
|--------------------------------------------+---------------------------|
|2. Transcript 's24(1)(a) presentation...' |Document 2 of 24/25-1470 |
| | |
| | |
|--------------------------------------------+---------------------------|
|3. 'Case study 1 ARF...' |Document 6 of 24/25-1470 |
| | |
| | |
|--------------------------------------------+---------------------------|
|4. 'Case study 1 psychologist...' |Document 5 of 24/25-1470 |

|5. 'Case study 2 SEF...' |Document 7 of 24/25-1470 |

|--------------------------------------------+---------------------------|
|6. 'Case study 3 SEF...' |Document 8 of 24/25-1470 |
| | |
| | |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
From review, the only material that was redacted from these documents was
internal email addresses in Documents 2 & 4.
As such, can you please confirm if you wish to withdraw your FOI request
or I will organise to issue a decision on these same documents if they are
the correct ones you have referenced in your scope.

Dear foi,
Thank you for the clarification.
The Page 1 I referred to is the revised document release. You are correct, it is Page 82 (Document 3) in the original document release.
I couldn’t tell that the linked documents were the documents in the original release. Thank you for clarifying
I am happy to withdraw the request
Yours sincerely,
