Agency information guide

Under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) each NSW Government department and agency is required to publish an Agency Information Guide. This guide provides a general description of:

The structure and functions of SIRA
Ways in which the functions of SIRA affect members of the public
How members of the public can participate in the formulation of SIRA policies and provide feedback
The types of information held by SIRA
The types of information that SIRA makes available to the public, and how to access it
The fees and charges required to be paid to access different types of information

You should check the open access information on SIRA’s website to see if the information you are looking for is already available. In addition to the “open access information” which SIRA is required by law to make available, SIRA also proactively releases a large volume of other information.

If you cannot find the information you are looking for on this website, you can ask us whether the information has already been released by SIRA proactively in some other form (eg. in printed form).

You can contact the GIPA team on [email protected] to ask if the information you are after has been released by SIRA either on this website or in another form. Some publications may only be available on the payment of a fee, but we will let you know if that is the case.
