What is the Role of the ATI Unit?

The Access to Information Unit does not receive and respond to ATI requests from members of the public. The Unit was set up under the ATI Act in 2002 to monitor implementation and compliance with the ATI law, and is also responsible for training ATI responsible officers and the wider public sector on the provisions of the Act while carrying out public education to inform the wider population about the law’s importance and benefits. The ATI Unit also provides administration services to the ATI Appeal Tribunal.
