Currently waiting for a response from National Disability Insurance Agency, they should respond promptly and normally no later than November 21, 2024 (details).

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

I'm writing to request access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982: 
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
(1). All internal guidance and policy documents available for staff in the Scheme Eligibility Branch that address visual impairment and/or permanent blindness.

(2). All research, digest, or other documents created by the Technical Advice and Improvement Branch that address visual impairment and/or permanent blindness.

(3). All internal guidance and policy documents regarding NDIS eligibility with “List A”, “List B”, and “List D”.

Please include all identified documents in full. I consider all parts of a document to be relevant, even if those parts are addressing topics other than the above.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

I can be contacted at this address if you require further information or clarification.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Clementine Saber
