What other responsibilities do agencies and organisations covered by FOI legislation have?
All agencies are required to publish information about their operations called a Statement of Affairs. These statements will include details on: • agency structures and functions • how its operations affect the public • how members of the public can participate in formulation of its policies • descriptions of all policy documents held by the agency • an outline of the procedures for gaining access to those documents. An updated Summary of Affairs must also be published biannually in the [NSW] Government Gazette.
