Dear Shirley Humphris

Thank you for your request of 5 June 2021, 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 the following documents about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS):

  • The number of reports of fraud against providers (registered and unregistered) between Jan 1st 2019 to Jan 1st 2020
  • The number of the above reports investigated.
  • The number of those investigations that found fraud.
  • The reasons for the above investigations found to be fraudulent.
  • The amount of money found to be fraudulently claimed by providers during the same time period.
  • The number of random audits of providers conducted during the above time period.
  • The number of those audits that revealed fraud
  • The amount of money of that fraud
  • The reasons that the money was found to be claimed fraudulently.
  • The numbers of alleged fraud actions in that time period that were appealed
  • The results of the appeals.

Unless you advise otherwise, we will take it that you agree to the names and contact details of NDIA staff being excluded from the scope of your request (that is, the information will be treated as irrelevant).

Processing timeframes

We received your request on 5 June 2021 and the 30-day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision from us by 5 July 2021.

The period may be extended if we need to consult with third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

Charges

We may apply a processing charge to your request and will advise you as soon as practicable if a charge is payable.
