Laws & Policies

       The sub-pages of this page contain information about Commonwealth laws and APS policies that may be relevant to your situation. These sub-pages are:

• Public Service Act
• APS Policies
• Human Rights Laws
  
• Workplace Laws
• Tort & Contract Law
• Defamation Law 
• Privacy Law
• Freedom of Information Law
• Administrative Law
  
• Legal Services Directions

      Having confidence in the knowledge of your legal and policy rights can feel very empowering. However, be aware that expressing your knowledge of your legal and policy rights to APS officers does not mean that there will be compliance with those rights if those APS officers do not have respect for your rights or believe that they can get away with dismissing your rights. It is also very important that you seek legal advice from a professional solicitor.
