To promote open, accountable, fair and effective government in NSW, members of the public have a right to access government information. This right is restricted only when there is an overriding public interest against disclosing the particular information.
You have the right to access certain government information under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Find out more about the new GIPA Act and the ways you can access government information.
There are a number of ways that you can access the different types of government information we hold. Find out how to access information, including how to make an access (FOI) application.
Our Disclosure Log is a record of (non-personal) information that the Department has released, often in response to a specific request from an individual or organisation, that the Department thinks could also be of interest to other members of the public. The Disclosure Log shows whether this information is now publicly available and how it can be accessed.
Policy Documents guide our decisions, actions and procedures. All of our Policy Documents are available here. From time to time, documents relating to the Department are tabled in the Parliament. Copies of these Tabled Documents, which include our Annual Reports, are also available here.
The DPC Publication Guide tells you about the Department, the kinds of government information we hold, and the ways you can access that information.
Certain contracts that the Department enters with the private sector, as well as certain tender information, is made publicly available on the Government’s tender’s website.
