Access to information

Each year the department publishes:

• a description of information our agency holds
• whether the information may be inspected by the public under another Act
• whether it may be purchased by the public or is distributed free of charge to the public
• how the information may be inspected or obtained.

This information is released in a table and is identified in the statement of information.
