NSW Treasury Open access information and proactive release
Find out more about the types of information NSW Treasury stores and learn how to make a request to access information held by us.
Types of open access information
Under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, certain information by law must be available on our website, free of charge unless there is an overriding public interest against disclosure. This information is called, "open access information".
Section 18 of the GIPA Act and section 5(2) of the GIPA Regulation identifies 10 types of open access information that government agencies must make available to the public.
Our Agency Information Guide describes:
- our functions and structure
- how our functions affect members of the public
- how members of the public can participate in the creation of Treasury policy
- the types of government information we hold
- the types of information that we make available to the public
- the fees and charges that will need to be paid to access different types of information.
Our policy documents aim to guide our decisions, actions, and procedures to perform our public functions.
You can find our policy documents in our documents library.
We must record and publish certain information about contracts entered into with private sector organisations that have a contract value of $150,000 or more. We upload all relevant contract details on to the Contract Notices section of the NSW eTendering website.
Details of each contract must be entered into the register within 45 working days of coming into effect and must remain on the register for 30 days or until the contract is complete, whichever is longer.
NSW eTendering also gives details of current tender opportunities:
- Consultancy Agreement – SAHF - Commercial and Financial Adviser – Ernst and Young

Our documents library includes Treasury Annual Reports that have been tabled in Parliament.
The NSW Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 requires all agencies to make available, free of charge on their websites, their “open access information”, unless there is an overriding public interest against disclosure.
Whenever we decide that certain open access information should not be publicly available, a record of that decision is made.
NSW Treasury has not made a decision that there is an overriding public interest against disclosure of any of its open access information. If a decision to disclose information is made, we will record it here.
For a list of our major assets (other than land holdings), go to our latest Annual Report in the documents library.
For a list of the properties that we disposed of in last financial year, go to our latest Annual Report in the documents library.

Disclosure log
A disclosure log is a record detailing government information already released under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act). A disclosure log is part of the open access information that agencies must make available as outlined in Section 25 of the GIPA Act 2009.
We think the information in our disclosure log might be useful to other people.
The disclosure log shows the information requested at the time but may not be the latest version.

Common questions about open access information
Under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, certain information by law must be available on our website. You will find answers to some common questions about open access information.
Mandatory open access to government information under the GIPA Act 2009:
- makes sure that NSW government agencies push information into the public domain
- provides you and other members of the public with immediate access to government information
- promotes consistent and transparent information-sharing practices across NSW government agencies.
All open access information is available free of charge on an agency’s website. You can also find information in our documents library.
If there is an unreasonable cost on the agency, the agency can charge a fee, but it must provide an alternative method of access that is free of charge. We will only charge you a fee to access open access information when the open access information is available for free in at least one other form.
Yes. In some cases, we may partially or fully withhold open access information because, it would be contrary to the public interest to make the information openly accessible. If we withhold open access information for this reason, we outline this in our Record of Open Access Information Not Publicly Available.
If you can't find the open access information or it isn't available, you can contact the Information Access and Governance Unit at: gipa@treasury.nsw.gov.au.
Proactive release
As well as the mandatory open access to government information, we must:
- make any government information held by us publicly available unless there is an overriding public interest

- review our program for the proactive release of government information no less frequently than every 12 months.
