Dear Minister Williams

Thank you for your admission that some people are worse off with the NDIS (see https://www.2gb.com/minister-admits-ndis-is-leaving-some-families-worse-off/).

The Honourable Paul Fletcher MP

Minister for Families and Social Services

Dear The Honourable Mr Fletcher MP,

As Convenor of Autism Aspergers Advocacy Australia (known as A4), I write to request a meeting with you to discuss the needs of autistic Australians for Government services and supports.

Following is correspondence with the new NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission. It shows this Commission:

Thank you for your email of 11 August 2018 to the former Minister for Social Services, the Hon Dan Tehan MP, about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and registered behavioural clinicians. Your correspondence has been referred to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) for reply. I apologise for the delay in responding.

Dear Mr Buckley

Re: FOI 17/18-285

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that the Agency has received your below Freedom of Information (FOI) request and please find attached correspondence in relation to that request.

I can also confirm that the Agency has received five other requests from you seeking information under FOI, dated between 22 May 2018 and today, and will be providing responses in due course.

Timeframe for acknowledging requests

In the last paragraph of this letter (MS18-000877, 23/5/2018), the Minister appears to commit to "extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community" before making any changes to NDIS operational guidelines (that affect access and eligibility).
