Dear Karen

Thank you for your request for information.

We’re sorry to let you know that it’s taken us longer than expected to
process your request.  This is because of the need to consult with
multiple areas to attempt to locate the information that you requested.

We are therefore writing to seek your agreement to a 21 day extension of
time under section 15AA of the FOI Act.  If you agree the due date for a
decision will be 10 July 2022.

Please let us know whether you agree by 18 June 2022. 

If you don’t agree, we may need to seek an extension from the Office of
Australian Information Commissioner.

We’re sorry that it’s taken us longer than expected and we appreciate your
patience.

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

Kind regards
