The Hon. Andrew Leigh MP responded negatively to A4's request that the ABS's SDAC survey collect data in 2025 (or 2026) ... ahead of the government's recent decision to wait longer.

The Minister's (undated) response is available below. 

A4 does not understand why the survey would return to a six year cycle during the early stages of NDIS stabilisation (or major reform), and the start of Thriving Kids and Foundational Supports. 

The government did not consult disability representative organisations (DROs) about this decision. 

There is no point talking to ABS staff about a decision that was clearly made outside their agency.
