Dear Shirley
Thank you for your 5 requests of 9 June 2021 and your one request of 13 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
As per section 24(2)(b) of the FOI Act, an agency may treat 2 or more requests as a single request if the subject matter is substantially the same; therefore, we have combined your 6 requests into one request.
The scope of this combined request is:
“ …a copy of the “Risk Management Framework” cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013-2014 … a copy of the Charter and/or Terms of Reference for the “Audit and Risk Committee (ARC)” cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013-2014 … a copy of the “Risk Management Strategy” cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013-2014 … details and copies of “Risk Management” consultancies cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013-2014 … a copy of the NDIA’s “Risk Management Declaration” for end of financial year 2013-2014, as required by Part 5 of the legislative instrument: National Disability Insurance Scheme—Risk Management Rules 2013. …copies of all Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) Minutes of Meeting for the financial year 2013-14, cited in the NDIA 2013-14 Annual Report [1]. This includes all attendees, agenda, topics and resolutions/outcomes.”
Unless you advise otherwise by 5:00pm 25 June 2021, 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 requests on 9 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 9 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.
Disclosure Log
Information released under the FOI Act may be published on the NDIA’s disclosure log located on our website, subject to certain exceptions.
If you have any concerns about the publication of information you have requested, please contact us.
