Right to Information

What is Right to Information?

The Right to Information reforms aim to make more information available, provide equal access to information accross all sectors of the community, and provide appropriate protection for individual's privacy.

The Right to Information Act 2009 and the Information Privacy Act 2009 replace the previous Freedom of Information (FOI) laws and provide appropriate safeguards for the way the public sector handles individuals personal information.
