Average Support packages.
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
The request below is an application for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
I am reaching out to request statistical information documents related to participants.
Specifically, I am interested in the average funding packages for individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Dissociative Identity Disorder and either PTSD or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).
I would also like the average Improved Daily Living Skills funding packages for
for individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Dissociative Identity Disorder and either PTSD or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).
I am requesting any documentation with the recent overall number of participants with these diagnoses both primary or secondary. I do not require any personal information of the participants.
Yours faithfully,
