Project Description

The Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) will build on its prior work to develop a comprehensive
free-access online legislation system for all Australian jurisdictions to best practice standards. This will involve (i)
Completion and enhancement of databases of current legislation; (ii) Adding 'historical' legislation, representing
legislation at previous periods in time; (iii) Adding comprehensive delegated legislation; (iv) Tracking
development of new legislation, and alerting users; and (v) Better linking/integration of related legislative
materials via a new form of citator. The significance will be that all Australian legal researchers (academic and
professional) will be able to improve their legislation research.
