Accessing information held by government agencies can be challenging without the right guidance. Youngman Consultancy helps individuals and organisations navigate the Government Information (Public Access) Act (GIPA) to obtain the information they are entitled to.

GIPA requires NSW State and Local Government agencies to proactively release information and respond to access applications. We can assist you in identifying the best pathway and managing the process from start to finish.
