Dear Shirley

 

Freedom of Information Request: Acknowledgement

 

Thank you for your request of 16 July 2021, under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) for copies of documents held by the
National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

 

Scope of your request

You have requested access to the following documents about the National
Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS):

 

“Please provide the total number of FOI requests received by the NDIA this
calendar year. That is, from 1 Jan 21 until 14 Jul 21, how many individual
FOI requests have been received by the NDIA's Department. This is not the
consolidated, aggregated or grouped number following NDIA rationalisation
of one or more requests on the same/related topic, but the total number of
individual FOI's requested during this time.”

 

Unless you advise otherwise, we will take it that you agree to the names
and contact details of NDIA staff being excluded from the scope of your
request (that is, the information will be treated as irrelevant).

 

Processing timeframes

We received your request on 16 July 2021 and the 30-day statutory period
for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You
should therefore expect a decision from us by 16 August 2021.

 

The period may be extended if we need to consult with third parties or for
other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

 

Charges

We may apply a processing charge to your request and will advise you as
soon as practicable if a charge is payable..

 

Disclosure Log

Information released under the FOI Act may be published on the NDIA’s
disclosure log located on our website, subject to certain exceptions.

 

If you have any concerns about the publication of information you have
requested, please contact us.

 

Further help

Please contact us at [1][NDIA request email] if you have any questions or need
help.

 

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.

Please find attached correspondence in relation to your request. If you
require this in a different format, please let us know.

 

We apologise for the delay in providing a decision. Unfortunately due to a
large increase in FOI requests over recent months, together with the
impact on staff and agency operations of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are
currently experiencing delays in processing matters.

 

Please contact us at [1][NDIA request email] if you have any questions or
require help.

 

Thank you, and our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the delay.
