Register of Lobbyists

The Register is a public document that contains the following information about lobbyists who make representations to Government on behalf of their clients:

• the business registration details and trading names of each lobbyist including, where the business is not a publicly listed company, the names of owners, partners or major shareholders, as applicable
• the names and positions of persons employed, contracted or otherwise engaged by the lobbyist to carry out lobbying activities, and
• the names of clients on whose behalf the lobbyist conducts lobbying activities.

The Register will be fully operational from 1 July 2008. From that date, any lobbyist who wishes to contact a Government representative for the purpose of lobbying activities must be registered and must agree to comply with the requirements of the Lobbying Code of Conduct.
