Defence is required to produce an indexed list of file titles every 6 months in response to the Senate Procedural Orders of Continuing Effect No. 12. The motion, by Senator Harradine, was agreed by the Senate on 14 November 1994.
On 3 December 1998, the Senate Order was amended and it now requires Defence to publish the indexed list of all relevant corporate file titles with the following exclusions:
- files transferred to the National Archives of Australia
- case related files
- files related to the internal administration of Defence.
In accordance with the Order, some information in file titles have been excluded such as:
- commercially confidential information
- identifiable personal information
- security classified information.
The lists are required to be tabled twice a year, once in the Spring sitting (file titles created in the preceding January to June) and once in the Autumn sitting (file titles created in the preceding July to December).
To view an indexed list of all relevant files titles for any of the following portfolio agencies, please visit the corresponding agency website.
