Request for Statistical Information on Funding Packages and Participant Diagnoses
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency/FOI Team,
I hope you all had a wonderful January.
The request below is an application for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
I am reaching out to request important statistical information documents related to participants.
Specifically, I am interested in the average funding packages for individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Any documents with the recent overall number of participants with these diagnoses, whether primary or secondary, would also be rather insightful. I do not require any personal information of the participants.
Your cooperation in providing these documents will be deeply appreciated and it will enhance the ability to ensure support for individuals facing the challenges of BPD and C-PTSD.
Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your timely response.
Sincerely,
B
Thank you for your email to the National Disability Insurance Agency
(NDIA) Freedom of Information (FOI) team.

of time. We appreciate your understanding if this is required.

Hello
Consider this my firm stance: I'm in the midst of a critical application process, and time is of the essence. Therefore, I must respectfully decline the proposed new time. Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
B
Hey FOI
So, can you maybe ask for, like, an extension from the Australian Information Commissioner's Office? I mean, it's worth a shot, right?
All the best
B
Dear B
Thank you for your email.
We sincerely apologise for the delay in providing you with the information
you have requested. Due to a large increase in FOI requests over recent
months, we are currently experiencing delays in processing matters. As a
result, we have not been able to process your matter within 30 days.
Please note that consultations have been issued and we are awaiting
results.
If you would like to discuss your request, please contact us at
[1][NDIA request email] and advise of a suitable time to call.
We offer our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards
