The Information Publication Scheme for Australian Government agencies aims to transform the freedom of information framework from one that responds to individual requests for access to documents to one that requires agencies to take a proactive approach to publishing information. The scheme commences on 1 May 2011.
Under the scheme, each agency must publish on its website an information publication plan showing how it proposes to meet the requirements of the information publication scheme.
The FOI Act specifies information that agencies must publish, in addition to the information publication plan. This information, where it exists, is already published in various different areas of the ALRC website and hyperlinks to the relevant content are included in the list below.
