It's International Access to Information Day

International Access to Information Day (IAID) is celebrated annually on 28 September to raise awareness of the importance of open government, and the public’s right to access government-held information.

This right to access information held by government is essential for transparent and accountable government in a democratic society, by promoting and facilitating greater public participation and scrutiny, and supporting better decision-making.

The Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner will celebrate IAID with a number of events throughout the week from 27 September – 1 October, exploring the theme of 'Open by design'.
