Publishing Public Sector Information

The release of public sector information (PSI) creates opportunities for innovative use and reuse of data, and allows the commercial, research and community sectors to add value. Releasing PSI also assists government in making evidence-based policy and service delivery decisions, and supports increased citizen participation in government.

Guidance is now available on the Web Guide to assist agencies in identifying, preparing and publishing public sector information.
