Timing of updates to this site

​​This page explains the timing for publication of new information​, and who to contact regarding content on this site.

Hansard​​​

Proof (draft) text is published online approximately 3 hours after the spoken word, progressively throughout sitting days.  A single PDF daily transcript is also made available within 3 hours of the last House rising. 

Members may make suggestions for corrections to their speeches in proof transcripts, but these may only relate to inaccuracies and new matters cannot be introduced.​  Any corrections are generally finalised within 2 weeks of a sitting day, with the proof version then updated to the final, "corrected copy" version.

For questions​ regarding Hansard content on this site, contact the Hansard team on (02) 9230 2233, or send us your comments or queries online.

  • The Notice Paper for a sitting day is published on the preceding sitting day, shortly after the House rises.
  • Minutes/votes and written questions are published on the day, shortly after the House rises.
  • The daily program is published on the morning of each sitting day.
