Public disclosure of record-keeping rule information received from Australia Post

The record-keeping rule provisions contained in the Australian Postal Corporation Act 1989 allow the ACCC to publish reports analysing the information that is provided under the record-keeping rules. Such reports may include information that Australia Post claims is commercial-in-confidence if the ACCC is satisfied:

• that the claim is not justified, or
• that it is in the public interest to publish the information.

Following consultation with Australia Post and other interested parties, the ACCC has Principles for the public disclosure record-keeping rule information provided by Australia Post to provide guideance as to how it will apply these tests.
