Request for access to "Practice Guide - Nutrition Supports"
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
I am requesting access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), to the most recent version of the following document:
- "Practice Guide - Nutrition Supports",
as referred to in the "Practice Guide – Disability-Related Health Supports" which is referred to in “Practice Guide - Determine Reasonable and Necessary Supports”.
I acknowledge that the "Practice Guide – Disability-Related Health Supports" has been released via an FOI Request from an unrelated party, however, the links within this document are dead, hence my request for access to "Practice Guide - Nutrition Supports". Please note that I am requesting the internal document "Practice Guide - Nutrition Supports" which is not publicly available on the NDIS or NDIA websites.
Yours faithfully,
Natasha Radcliffe.

Dear Natasha Radcliffe
Freedom of Information Request: Acknowledgement
Thank you for your request of 7 November 2024, made under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), for copies of documents held by the
National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
Scope of your Request
You have requested access to:
“…I am requesting the internal document "Practice Guide - Nutrition
Supports" which is not publicly available on the NDIS or NDIA websites...”
Processing Timeframes
In accordance with section 15(5)(b) of the FOI Act, a 30-day statutory
period for processing your request commenced from 8 November 2024. This
30-day period expires on 8 December 2024.
The 30-day period can be extended in a number of ways, including with your
agreement.
Unfortunately, it is currently taking us a little longer than 30 days to
process FOI requests. I am therefore seeking your agreement to a 15-day
extension of time under section 15AA of the FOI Act. If you agree to this
extension, the new due date for us to decide on your request will be 22
December 2024.
If you do not agree and we are unable to process your request within the
30-day period expiring on 8 December 2024, we will be deemed to have
refused your request and you will not have a right to seek internal review
of that decision. You will, however, retain your right to external review
by the Australian Information Commissioner.
Please let us know if you agree by Monday 18 November 2024.
Disclosure Log
Subject to certain exceptions, documents released under the FOI Act will
be published on the NDIA’s disclosure log located on our website.
If you have any concerns about the publication of the documents you have
requested, please contact me.
Next steps
Your request will be allocated to an authorised FOI decision-maker. The
decision-maker may need to contact you to discuss a range of matters,
including refining the scope of your request.
We will contact you using the email address you have provided. Please
advise if you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or need help, please contact us
at [1][NDIA request email].
