"I am asking for this information for research purposes as part of an academic study examining new market creation, entrants and exits to the new market, etc.
I am seeking to tie individual providers to the services they provide, their location, their organizational type, and their date of registration with NDIS. I have already checked the provider lists provided elsewhere on the NDIS website (most recent versions updated 18 February 2016) and they do not provide information on the characteristics and market profile presented in two other locations in summary form.
So fundamentally I am interested in knowing exactly which companies are represented in each group of characteristics, in other words a more granular level of data than is presented in the summary formats. For example, I am looking to distinguish the 1,875 newly-registered providers from the 342 previously-registered-with-DSS providers and the 584 Australian Private Companies from the 788 Individual/Sole Traders.
I am interested in receiving at least the most up-to-date version of this information. If this version includes information on when each of the providers registered with NDIS, then I will only need this most up-to-date version. If the quarterly table or public market dashboard raw data does not include the date of registration for each of the providers, then I would like to request that specific piece of information as well."

- This document contains internal operational procedures. It provides detailed information on the processes to be followed, guidance on who should perform tasks and helps staff understand the workflows across the business. However, the Standard Operating Procedures do not contain information designed to assist the National Disability Insurance Agency to perform or exercise the Agency’s functions or powers in making decisions or recommendations – that information is contained in the Operational Guidelines (OGs). Where relevant, the SOPs contain a link to the OGs. View the publicly available Operational Guidelines.
- Irrelevant parts redacted (pages 1 – 25; 63 – 109; and parts of pages 25, 53, 58, and 59) (section 22 of the FOI Act).
- Exempted parts of document redacted (conditional exemptions - certain operations of agencies section 47E of the FOI Act) - pages 31, 35 – 38; 40; 42 – 47; 50; 55 – 56; 60 – 62; and all hyperlinks to internal IT systems within document.
- The section on ‘Protected participants’ (page 49) reflects only an additional manual data-handling procedure for a class of participants. This procedure is a reasonable and necessary internal procedure to protect the personal information of certain participants, in addition to the normal information protection mechanisms the Agency adheres to for all participants. It reflects the implementation of a recommendation of the Agency’s Privacy Impact Assessment, which states: Develop a mechanism for ‘flagging’ clients who are at higher risk of a privacy breach (eg NDIS staff, public figures, self-nominated victims of violence). For this category, restrict views to senior NDIS managers, and conduct proactive monitoring of the audit logs on their records. For the avoidance of doubt, protected participants go through the same processes as any other prospective participant.

This is an administrative document. Despite the wording of this document, it is not a mandatory checklist, but an administrative guideline used by Agency staff to conduct its operations efficiently and effectively. The ‘must do’ language is used to foster administrative efficiency and consistency.
