Charges
We will indicate in our Publication Scheme if there is a charge for a copy of the publication you request. The following charging policy will apply unless otherwise stated within the scheme.
Publications are free of charge from our website (ie there is no charge by us, although the user will have to meet any charges imposed by their Internet service provider, personal printing costs, etc). For those without Internet access, a single printed version of the document will be available by post from the Departmental Information Manager – see the Responsibility section for details.
We will let you know at the time of your request the amount to be charged and if payment is required in advance.
Whilst it is intended that the majority of information contained in our Publication Scheme will be posted on our website, there may be certain publications which will only be available by post and for which there may be a charge. Where charges apply, this is clearly identified against the individual documents. The Department reserves the right to charge for the production of multiple copies of documents, which are otherwise free of charge. The Department also reserves the right to review its position on charging.
