As a committee of the Board, the ARFC helps the Board meet its responsibilities under the NDIS Act and the PGPA Act. The Committee’s objective is to provide independent assurance and advice to the Board on: 1) the Agency’s risk management; 2) control and compliance framework; 3) and financial statement responsibilities. Board members on the Committee are Mr John Hill PSM (Chair), Ms Geraldine Harwood and Mr Martin Laverty. The ARFC also has two independent members, Ms Marian Micalizzi and Ms Helen Williams AO. The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) attends ARFC meetings as the Agency’s external auditor, along with the Agency’s appointed internal auditors” [2].

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Shirley

Extension of time application by the National Disability Insurance Agency

Dear Shirley

 

I write to advise that on 12 August 2021, the Office of the Australian
Information Commissioner (the OAIC) received an application from the
National Disability Insurance Agency (the NDIA) for an extension of time
to process your FOI request made on 13 June 2021.

 

The NDIA has advised the OAIC that you agreed to an extension of time to
process the request under s 15AA of the FOI Act to 12 August 2021 (OAIC
reference RQ21/01846).

 

The NDIA has applied for an extension of time under s 15AB of the Freedom
of Information Act 1982 (Cth) because your request is considered to be
complex and voluminous. 

·     The NDIA has advised the OAIC that:

−     the request is broadly scoped and covers both current and historical
documents

−     the request seeks access to documents of a highly sensitive and
complex nature from multiple business areas

−     the NDIA is engaged in a significant amount of consultation with
multiple stakeholders to ensure it has appropriately identified documents
within scope, and determine whether it needs to further engage with you

−     searches for historic material have been complex as ICT
infrastructure has changed over time and other Commonwealth agencies hold
the archived material, and

−     the NDIA is committed to issuing a decision as soon as possible.

The NDIA has requested an extension to 12 September 2021. I will take any
comments you may have to make into account when deciding the application.

 

Please respond to this email by close of business 17 August 2021. If I do
not hear from you by this date, I will proceed to make a decision on the
basis of the information provided to me by the NDIA.

 

You will be notified of the decision once the matter has been finalised.

 

Further information about extension of time requests may be found on our
website at [2]Extensions of time.

 

Yours sincerely
