Dear Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Australian Prudential Regulation Authority's handling of my FOI request 'Statistics for Income Protection Insurance'.

APRA has not satisfied my request for Statistics for Income Protection Insurance. The spreadsheet provided makes no reference to Income Protection.

The National Claims and Policies Database (NCPD) was established by APRA in 2003, at the request of the Federal Government in consultation with the insurance industry.

APRA would have the information requested in my FOI request and could publish much more information that would be in the public interest.

As stated in the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) document includes:
(a) any of, or any part of any of, the following things:
(i) any paper or other material on which there is writing;
(ii) a map, plan, drawing or photograph;
(iii) any paper or other material on which there are marks, figures, symbols or perforations having a meaning for persons qualified to interpret them;
(iv) any article or material from which sounds, images or writings are capable of being reproduced with or without the aid of any other article or device;
(v) any article on which information has been stored or recorded, either mechanically or electronically;
(vi) any other record of information; or
(b) any copy, reproduction or duplicate of such a thing; or
(c) any part of such a copy, reproduction or duplicate;
but does not include:
(d) material maintained for reference purposes that is otherwise publicly available; or
(e) Cabinet notebooks.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/s...

Yours faithfully,

Julie Middleton
