Tabled Papers

The Legislative Council Tabled Papers Register is an electronic database which is used to record all papers tabled in the Legislative Council. This database only displays the reports and other papers which are tabled in the House. Documents such as messages between the Houses or the Governor, statutory instruments, petitions, and Bills are not included unless they become parliamentary papers. Please note that records have only been made available online back to the start of 1995.

Our aim is to register documents on this database within 24 hours of their tabling in the Legislative Council.

What is a session?

A session is a defined period of a Parliament of varying length and number of sitting days. A session begins when the Governor issues a proclamation summoning Parliament and ends when the Governor issues a proclamation proroguing the Parliament or when the Council is dissolved (see the section 10 of the Constitution Act 1901). It should be noted that sessions can be as short as one day, or as long as the Parliament runs, there is no set time period.

How do I get a copy of a tabled paper?

Unless the tabled document is something produced by the Parliament (e.g. a report of a NSW Parliamentary Committee) you will need to contact the department/authority who produced the report. If the report is that of a NSW Parliamentary committee, contact the relevant committee's secretariat.
