This FOI release is a single-row table from the ACQSC listing changes to government policy or legislation identified for action from complaints lodged between 1 January 2020 and 5 May 2026. It records one item: a request to amend the Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) list to remove its exclusion of CPAP and BiPAP respiratory machines where a jurisdiction does not already provide them. The basis was a complaint (number 1405) in which an older person on a Support at Home package could not obtain a BiPAP machine through the NSW state scheme, and was also refused AT-HM funding because the machine is funded by other schemes. The issue was raised with the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing on 17 February 2026. The table notes no change was made. No exemptions are indicated in the extract, and no personal or business information is apparent.
