Thank you for your correspondence under the Freedom of Information Act
1982 (FOI Act) for copies of documents held by the National Disability
Insurance Agency (NDIA), which was received by the NDIA via the FOI inbox

Scope of your request
You have requested access to the following documents about the National
Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS):
“…Can you please share the percentage of all access requests that have
been approved into the scheme over its lifetime and by year?”
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
A 30-day statutory period for processing your request commenced from 18
December 2021, in accordance with section 15(2A)(c). You should,
therefore, expect a decision from us by 16 January 2022.
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.
