Information publication scheme
Australian Government agencies are expected to take an active approach to sharing information with the public.
The Information Publication Scheme details the types of information government must actively share. This is a part of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act)
As an Australian Government agency, the Regional Investment Corporation must meet these requirements.
Our approach
We intend to foster a culture of appropriate information sharing.
We are committed to:
- publishing information about our agency, including anything required under s 8(2) of the FOI Act
- maintaining this website to keep information current and accessible to the public.
