unable to respond to non-FOI related enquiries sent to this email address.
Any correspondence received that is not related to an FOI request will not
be responded to or forwarded.    

Please be aware: due to a high volume of requests, our ability to respond
to you in a timely manner has been affected. However, we will action your
request as soon as possible. In addition, we are currently experiencing
delays in processing FOI requests. As a result, whilst we will endeavour
to process your matter within the [1]legislative deadlines, we may need to
ask for an extension of time. We appreciate your understanding if this is
required.   

The NDIA has a number of other ways to access the documents and
information that we hold. Please visit our [2]Access to
Information webpage to find out more about accessing information

o The [6]Information Publication Scheme (IPS)  

You can also request data and statistics outside of the FOI Act. Please
visit our [7]Data and insights webpage page for further information. 

Information about how to make an FOI request can be found on our
website: [8]Freedom of Information | NDIS. The FOI Act sets out the
criteria that must be met for a request to be considered. The request you
send us must:    

o be in writing    
o state that the request is an application for the purposes of the FOI
Act    
o provide enough information to allow us to identify the documents you
are requesting    
o provide an address for reply, either electronic or hard copy.     

If you have questions about making an FOI request, or to enquire about a
current FOI request, please email us with your preferred contact method
and an FOI Decision Maker will contact you.  

Should you have a query unrelated to FOI, please contact the Agency by
email at [9][email address] or via webchat at [10]NDIA Web Chat

Subject: Internal review of Freedom of Information request - Question re:
Staffing

[You don't often get email from
[5][FOI #10377 email]. Learn why this is
important at [6]https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information
reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of National Disability
Insurance Agency's handling of my FOI request 'Question re: Staffing'.

REF FOI 22/23-1672

As the individuals in question have historically appeared in publicly
available organisational charts, Section 47F is irrelevant in this
instance.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on
the Internet at this address:
[7]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

Yours faithfully,

Robert Stokes

manager to link to us from your organisation's FOI page.
