Contact us
The IPC NSW has a professional and knowledgeable enquiries team available to answer your questions about the laws we administer for NSW Public Sector Agencies, Local Councils, State-Owned Corporations, Universities, Health Service providers and organisations that hold health information.

The IPC does not hold information on behalf of NSW government agencies. To access information held by a particular agency, you need to contact that agency first. A list of contacts for NSW agencies is provided below. If you are seeking information about the requirements for collecting and providing personal information to a private sector organisation such as a financial institution, or registered club, or if your enquiry is about an NGO or Federal Government Agency, you need to call the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner on 1300 363 992. If you are contacting the IPC about the real estate industry conducting property inspections, you will need to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as private residential tenancy arrangements do not fall under the jurisdiction of the IPC. For more information about what the IPC and can and cannot assist you with, please refer to the Fact Sheet Frequently Asked Questions: What the IPC can and cannot do. |

NSW Have your say
- Have Your Say is a website that enables NSW Government agencies to publicise consultations being conducted throughout the state. The site provides a central place for the public to search via their location and/or by topic to discover consultations that interest them. It enables them to share their views and ideas on Government plans to improve services, the economy and infrastructure in NSW. We use Have Your Say as an additional channel whenever we commence a consultation.
