Dear K Wang

 

 

Right to Information

 

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

 

The GIPA Act establishes a proactive, open approach to gaining access to
government information in New South Wales (NSW). The objects of the GIPA
Act are to maintain and advance a system of responsible and representative
democratic Government that is open, accountable, fair and effective.

 

The GIPA Act:

 

o authorises and encourages the proactive release of information by NSW
public sector agencies
o gives members of the public a legally enforceable right to access
government information
o ensures that access to government information is restricted only when
there is an overriding public interest against releasing that
information.

 

The GIPA Act applies to all NSW government agencies, and also extends to
Ministers and their staff, local councils, state-owned corporations,
courts in their non-judicial functions, and to certain public authorities,
such as universities.

 

The guiding principle of the GIPA Act is public interest. It is generally
presumed that all government agencies will disclose or release information
unless there is an overriding public interest against doing so. Under the
GIPA Act it is compulsory for agencies to provide information about their
structure, functions and policies, and agencies are encouraged to release
as much other information proactively and informally as possible.

 

As information that you have requested cannot be provided informally, you
are invited to lodge a formal access application. This can be done via our
webform:

[1]https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/about_u...

 

The application must be accompanied by a fee of $30 (Section 41(1)(c) of
the GIPA Act).

Note: Section 127 of the GIPA Act enables and agency to waive, reduce or
refund a fee payable or paid under the Act for an application fee in any
case that the agency thinks appropriate, subject to regulations.

 

Within five days of a valid application being received, you will receive a
formal acknowledgement advising you of the process the University must
follow in responding to your application.

 

 

Kind regards
