As a part of the NDIA’s risk management strategy, a robust Business Continuity Management Framework has been established and tested, to guide the rapid resumption of participant and provider services and critical business activities” [1].
Thank you for your assistance with this request.
Yours faithfully,
Shirley

Dear Shirley
Thank you for your request for information.
Please find attached correspondence in relation to your request. If you
require the attachment in a different format, please let us know.
We’re sorry to let you know that it will take us longer than expected to
process your request. This is because the material you are requesting
will require multiple consultations and searches with different line
areas.
We are, therefore, writing to seek your agreement to a 30 day extension of
time under section 15AA of the FOI Act. This would make the new due date
12 August 2021.

If you don’t agree, we may need to seek an extension from the Office of

Extension of time application by the National Disability Insurance Agency
Dear Shirley
I write to advise that on 12 August 2021, the Office of the Australian
Information Commissioner (the OAIC) received an application from the
National Disability Insurance Agency (the NDIA) for an extension of time
to process your FOI request made on 13 June 2021.
The NDIA has advised the OAIC that you agreed to an extension of time to
process the request under s 15AA of the FOI Act to 12 August 2021 (OAIC
reference RQ21/01849)
The NDIA has applied for an extension of time under s 15AB of the Freedom
of Information Act 1982 (Cth) because your request is considered to be
complex and voluminous.
· The NDIA has advised the OAIC that:
− the request is broadly scoped and covers both current and historical
documents
− the request seeks access to documents of a highly sensitive and
complex nature from multiple business areas
− the NDIA is engaged in a significant amount of consultation with
multiple stakeholders to ensure it has appropriately identified documents
within scope, and determine whether it needs to further engage with you
− searches for historic material have been complex as ICT
infrastructure has changed over time and other Commonwealth agencies hold
the archived material, and
− the NDIA is committed to issuing a decision as soon as possible.
The NDIA has requested an extension to 12 September 2021. I will take any
comments you may have to make into account when deciding the application.
Please respond to this email by close of business 17 August 2021. If I do
not hear from you by this date, I will proceed to make a decision on the
basis of the information provided to me by the NDIA.
You will be notified of the decision once the matter has been finalised.
Further information about extension of time requests may be found on our
website at [2]Extensions of time.

No business continuity management and plan test was provided nor cited in refused list.
Risk Management Strategy document in name only as it is largely cut and pasted from the "Risk Management Guide" which is neither a Risk Policy nor Risk Procedure document, as requested.
