Open Access Information
On 1 July 2010 the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) came into effect, replacing the former Freedom of Information Act.
The new GIPA Act:
- creates new rights to information that are designed to meet community expectations of more open and transparent government
- encourages government agencies to proactively release government information.
You can find out more about the new Act, your right to information and the new ways you can access NSW government information, on the Information and Privacy Commission (IPC) website at www.ipc.nsw.gov.au
