Open government is a global movement, and governments across Australia and around the world are working to make government more efficient, accountable and transparent. All governments are facing similar challenges implementing effective information policy. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has compiled the following Australian state and international resources on information policy. These resources include state and national data portals that allow access to government data sets, international open government initiatives and information about current initiatives and policy development in each jurisdiction.
