The Directory of Official Information supports the public to make requests for official information.

The Ministry of Justice manages the Directory, as part of its role administering the Official Information Act(external link) (OIA). Part III section 20 of the OIA requires the Ministry to publish a Directory to help the public exercise their rights under the Act.

The Directory includes descriptions of all central Government organisations covered by the OIA. It includes their functions, structure, records, manuals, committees and contact officers.

Use the Directory to:

  • find details about the structure of central Government departments and organisations
  • work out exactly where your requests for official information should be sent.
