'Interventions for children on the autism spectrum' - consultation paper outputs

We're waiting for David Wright to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

I refer to the NDIA consultation paper 'Interventions for children on the autism spectrum', available here - https://www.ndis.gov.au/community/have-y...

The purpose of the paper is stated on page 3 as follows:

'The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) recognises the importance of working with participants, providers and the disability sector when making improvements to our policies and procedures ... This paper seeks input and feedback from participants, their families and caregivers, as well as providers and the disability sector to assist in developing clearer advice on National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding of early intervention services for children on the autism spectrum.'

This is elaborated on pages 4-5:

'This consultation process will help us understand your views with so that we can:

a. update existing policy and operational guidance to support the delivery of clear and consistent reasonable and necessary decision making under the existing legislative framework for early intervention for children

b. refine policy and operational guidelines to support the implementation of evidence-based, best practice early intervention for children on the autism spectrum in the new context of personalised budgets and plan flexibility from late-2021'

I submit this FOI request seeking all documents relating to the updating of any NDIA policies and guidelines relating to early intervention services for children on the autism spectrum, arising from this consultation process. Including draft/final copies of the policies and guidelines themselves, and any internal agency correspondence about this updating process.

Yours faithfully,
David Wright
