Consultation on two new draft resources under the GIPA Act

The NSW Information Commissioner is seeking feedback on two draft resources which they have developed to assist decision-makers under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.

The resources are in the form of fact sheets one dealing with Offences under the GIPA Act and the other about Restraint orders under the GIPA Act.

The consultation period is only short, 13-27 May 2016.

The draft fact sheets are available here.
