Information Publication Scheme
Hearing Australia Information Publication Scheme Plan 2021-2026
Introduction
Hearing Australia is a corporate Commonwealth entity subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) and is required to comply with the Information Publication Scheme (IPS) requirements. This plan describes how Hearing Australia proposes to do this, as required by s 8(1) of the FOI Act.
Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to:
- assist Hearing Australia to comply with subsection 8(1) of the FOI Act
- assist Hearing Australia with planning and administering its IPS entry
- show what information Hearing Australia proposes to publish, and how the information will be published.
Objectives
Hearing Australia’s IPS objectives are to:
- ensure proper management of Hearing Australia’s IPS entries;
- proactively identify and publish all information required to be published (s 8(2));
- ensure satisfactory conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (Version 2) WCAG 2.0); and
- adopt best practice initiatives in implementing and administering Hearing Australia’s IPS entry.
Information Publication Scheme Accountability
All members of Hearing Australia’s Executive are accountable for ensuring that Hearing Australia complies with its IPS obligations. They are supported by the Chief People and Governance Officer, and Hearing Australia’s Privacy Officer who administer the Scheme for Hearing Australia.
Administering Hearing Australia’s Information Publication Scheme
All members of Hearing Australia’s Executive are responsible for ensuring:
- information required to be published is published as part of the data holdings; and
- the accuracy, currency and integrity of published information relevant to their responsibilities.
The Chief People and Governance Officer is accountable for reviewing and updating this Plan as appropriate, at a minimum every five years.
The Chief Customer Officer is responsible for ensuring that all material to be published on the Hearing Australia website is, as far as possible, accessible and conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (Version 2) (WCAG 2.0)

Any charges will be consistent with charges in the Freedom of Information (Charges) Regulations 2019 and will represent the lowest reasonable cost of reimbursing Hearing Australia for specific reproduction costs or other specific incidental costs.
