Use of submissions and confidentiality

If you would like your submission to be treated as confidential, please indicate this in your submission. Submissions made to the Commission may be used in two ways:

• Since the Commission’s process of law reform is essentially public, copies of submissions made to the Commission will normally be made available on request to other persons or organisations. However, if you would like all or part of your submission to be treated as confidential, please indicate this in your submission. Any request for a copy of a submission marked “confidential” will be determined in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 1989 (NSW).
• In preparing further papers on this reference, the Commission will refer to submissions made in response to this Issues Paper. However, requests for confidentiality will be respected by the Commission in relation to the publication of submissions.

The NSW Attorney General’s Department is committed to fully meeting its obligations under State and Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation. These laws require all organisations to eliminate discriminatory practices which may prevent people with disabilities from having full and equal access to our services.
