Dear Janus

Freedom of Information Request: Acknowledgement

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
on 28 November 2021.

Scope of your request

You have requested access to the following documents about the National
Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS):

“….a copy of the NDIA's Financial Delegations. Including a copy of the
current Accountable Authority Instructions (AAI).”

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 29
November 2021, in accordance with section 15(2A)(c) of the FOI Act.

Due to the NDIA’s reduced activity period between Christmas and New Year,
we are seeking your agreement to extend the processing time by an
additional 30 days under section 15AA of the FOI Act. If you agree to this
extension, you can expect to receive a decision from us on or before 27
January 2022.

If you do not agree to the proposed extension of time, or you do not
provide a response to our request, we may need to seek an extension of
time with the Information Commissioner under section 15AB of the FOI Act.
Therefore, we ask that you please provide a response by 5pm Thursday 23
December 2021.

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.

Further help

Please contact us at [1][NDIA request email] if you have any questions or need
help.

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.
