Right to Information at Macquarie

Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA ACT)

From 1 July 2010 the new Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) replaces the Freedom of Information Act 1989 (NSW).

To access information from the University:

  • search the University's website, to see if it is already available;
  • contact the University and ask for the information.

The University will decide whether the information you want:

  • is open access information that is readily available
  • should be made available as part of a 'proactive release' of information
  • can be disclosed to you through 'informal release' for example where no third party personal information is involved
  • requires a 'formal access application'.

Who can help me with more information?
