The CDPP is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) and is required to publish information to the public as part of the Information Publication Scheme (IPS).

The requirement is in Part 11 of the FOI Act and has replaced the former requirement to publish a section 8 statement in an annual report.

The CDPP website www.cdpp.gov.au displays a plan showing what information is published in accordance with the IPS requirements.
