Under the Right to Information Act 2009, we provide information to the public through these methods:

Required disclosure

Required disclosure is when Justice is required by law to publish certain information (including under an enforceable agreement). An example is our annual report.

If you are thinking about making a right to information request, check our Magistrates Court : Annual Reports first to see if they contain the information you are after.

Routine disclosure

Routine disclosure is when Justice publishes information that may be of public interest. Examples are discussion papers for proposals for law reform, statistical information, information about the programs and services we deliver, or our gifts and benefits register.

If you are thinking about making a right to information request, check our Magistrates Court : Right to information first to see if we have already published the information you are after.

Active disclosure

Active disclosure is when Justice provides information in response to a request made outside the right to information process. An example is providing information to someone who has written a letter to us.

Assessed disclosure

Assessed disclosure is information provided when someone submits a right to information request.

It is the last resort, if the information is not found through required, routine or active disclosures.
