Extension of time application by the National Disability Insurance Agency
Dear Ms Humphris
I write to advise that on 13 May 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 of 16 April 2021.
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
voluminous and/or complex.
The NDIA has advised the OAIC that:
o the NDIA conducted initial consultations with relevant business areas
to establish the work involved in processing the scope of request
which seeks access to documents from multiple business areas and is of
highly sensitive and complex nature
o the processing of this request involves consultations with several
business areas
o the number of documents identified within the scope of this request is
yet to be determined, due to the large number of searches being
undertaken
o at present, the NDIA FOI team is still liaising with business areas
and managers to ensure that our searches have accurately captured all
documents falling within the scope of this request, and to ensure they
carefully consider the potential sensitivities within the documents.
o during the processing of this request, the NDIA was recalled for
Additional Senate Estimates and was required at multiple hearings of
various Joint Standing Committees. This necessitated staff engagement
on preparations for these hearings which impacted FOI consultations
and searches
o furthermore, the relevant NDIA branch has undergone major structural
changes with key staff participating in recruitment processes and
training new staff causing delays. Actioning Officers have
significantly increased workloads and are working considerable hours
to ensure matters are processed within a timely manner, and
o the NDIA has advised that they are also committed to issuing a
decision as soon as possible within the extended time period, should
it be granted, and to answer any queries the applicant may have in
relation to the processing times involved with this matter.
The NDIA has requested an extension to 16 June 2021. The decision maker
will take any comments you may have to make into account when deciding the
application.
Please respond to this email by close of business 19 May 2021. If I do not
hear from you by this date, the decision maker 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 [1]Extensions of time.

If you have any questions, please contact me on (02) 9284 9721 or via
