Request for processes surrounding ending service agreements with SIL Providers.
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
Can I please be provided relevant NDIA documents that outline the processes for SDA Providers to follow when a particpant request has been made to end a service agreement with a SIL Provider.
Please include relevant tender agreements that may impact the process between SIL and SDA Providers that need to be considered in this process to end an agreement.
Yours faithfully,
Vic Howie

Dear Victoria Howie
Thank you for your request for information.
The Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) provides a person a legally
enforceable right to obtain access to documents; however, the FOI Act does
not impose an obligation on a Commonwealth entity to provide documents
already in the public domain, or otherwise publicly accessible.
We have undertaken reasonable searches and identified that the documents
you are seeking are publicly available.
For your convenience, I provide here links to the public documents you are
seeking access to:
· [1]Making a service agreement | NDIS
· [2]NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission website
· [3]ACCC website
I also note that the NDIA is not a party to service agreements between
providers and participants. If this request relates to your personal
circumstances, you may wish to discuss this with your planner or contact
phone our call centre on 1800 800 110 which operates Monday to Friday
between 9:00am and 5:00pm.
Given the documents and information you are seeking are publicly
available, we are closing your request.
