Dear Ministers

I write to express my disappointment that the Government has removed its NDAP Finder webpage.

This page was very useful for people trying to find a disability advocate.

As I understand it, people are now expected to use the government's new Disability Gateway website instead (see https://www.disabilitygateway.gov.au/search/node?keys=ndap), if they are looking for this information. However, if I put "NDAP" into the search function, its says "Sorry, we couldn’t find that".

Other searches on the Gateway site also do not find useful information.

Please restore the old NDAP Finder webpage. The new system does not work.

Autism Aspergers Advocacy Australia, known as A4, is the national grassroots organisation advocating for autistic people, their families, carers and associates. A4 is internet based so that Australians anywhere can participate.

Note for politicians and bureaucrats – Autism Aspergers Advocacy Australia's policy on unanswered questions is available at https://a4.org.au/node/1419.

A4 recognises and respects the traditional owners, the elders past and present of lands in Australia. Sovereignty was never ceded.
