Information Publication Scheme (IPS) for Australian Government agencies subject to the Act. Under the IPS scheme, ACARA is required to publish a broad range of information relevant to stakeholder interests and the general public, including an agency plan (ss 8(1) and 8(2)(a)). The IPS underpins a pro-disclosure culture across government and transforms the freedom of information framework from one that is reactive to individual requests for documents to one that relies more heavily on agency-driven publication of information.</p> <p>Under the <em>Freedom of Information Act 1982</em>, the information published on this page has been released by ACARA and is available for public access.</p> <h2>Agency plan </h2> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.acara.edu.au/docs/default-source/corporate-publications/20180608-acara-agency-plan.pdf?sfvrsn=2" target="_blank">ACARA agency
