Information publication scheme

Introduction
 

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is an Australian Government agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (Freedom of Information Act). It is required to comply with Information Publication Scheme (IPS) requirements.

APRA is obliged to publish an Information Publication Scheme Plan describing how APRA proposes to comply with the IPS requirements as required by section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act. The Plan describes how APRA proposes to implement and administer the IPS in respect of its own information holdings by addressing:

1. the establishment and administration of APRA’s IPS;
2. information architecture;
3. information required to be published;
4. optional information to be published;
5. accessibility of information published; and
6. compliance review.

This page includes APRA’s Information Publication Scheme Plan and links to key publications and information from APRA.
Find out more about APRA’s Freedom of Information requirements, including the process for requesting information from APRA under the Freedom of Information Act, via this on the Freedom of Information webpage.

If you would like to provide feedback on our IPS entry or seek access to APRA’s information or documents, please contact our Freedom of Information officer via email foi@apra.gov.au. 

General enquiries can be directed to contact APRA.
