Proactively released documents

Part 2 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) requires Australian Government agencies, Ministers and certain government business enterprises (GBEs) to establish an Information Publication Scheme (IPS). The IPS provisions in the FOI Act outline NBN Co's obligations to provide the Australian community with access to information regarding our company's operations, activities and other matters. In addition to publishing a broad range of information on our website, NBN Co has published our IPS Plan, which explains how our company intends to implement and administer its Publication Scheme. In addition, section 8(4) of the FOI Act outlines Government entities' obligations to identify and publish information for proactive release. In that regard, NBN Co has undertaken a review of its information assets and identified a series of documents, below, that the company has proactively released.
