How this index is built
A scheduled job rebuilds the index every week; nothing is published without a source link.
1Read the Right to Know feed. The platform publishes Atom and JSON feeds for saved searches — ours covers Aboriginal, Indigenous, First Nations and Torres Strait Islander requests.
2Sweep the federal logs. Starting from the OAIC’s agency directory, monitor the disclosure logs of agencies that hold First Nations files.
3Check the NSW registry. A curated list of NSW agency disclosure-log pages, checked weekly — NSW keeps no central register.
4Extract, de-duplicate, classify. New entries are matched against a First Nations keyword list and tagged by topic, agency and year.
5Editorial review. Questionable matches queue for a human decision before publication.
6Publish. Approved records land here as structured entries, each with its original source and a last-verified date.
Read this first
Updated weekly from publicly accessible sources. This is a best-effort index, not a complete register. Agencies do not publish every FOI or GIPA application they receive, and Right to Know contains only requests made through its platform.
Titles and descriptions are indexed as published by the original source. If a record here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
Report a correction →About this index. Compiled by Barayamal Limited, an ACNC-registered charity (ABN 13 618 487 139), from the public record: Right to Know, Commonwealth agency FOI disclosure logs and NSW agency GIPA disclosure logs. Where an entry is one of our own applications it is badged as a Barayamal case file. Each record links to its original source; the source remains authoritative.
