The University of Newcastle: Publication Guide

Issued in accordance with the New South Wales Government Information (Public Access) Act (GIPA Act) 2009

Date of Adoption:         15 December 2010
Date for Review:           15 December 2011
Updated 31 July 2011


The NSW GIPA Act requires the University to produce a publication guide to detail who we are, what we do and how members of the public, the media and other government agencies can interact with us.

The Publication Guide:

  • describes the structure and functions of the University
  • describes the ways in which the University's functions affect members of the public
  • specifies any arrangements that enable members of the public to participate in the formulation of the University policy
  • identifies the various kinds of information that the University makes, or will make, publicly available
  • the kind of information that is, or will be, made publicly available free of charge and those kinds of information for which a charge is, or will be, imposed. 


We will update the Publication Guide regularly so that it provides an accurate overview of the University and its functions as a tertiary institution.
