How to purchase printed copies of legislation

All versions of in force and repealed legislation on the NSW legislation website now have an associated delivery van icon located on the blue task bar on each status information page. By clicking on that icon, users will be redirected to the LitSupport (TIMG) website where an order can be placed for the chosen legislation with the option to create an account for future purchases. The system recognises the selected legislation and automatically adds it to a shopping cart, making the ordering process straightforward. The cost, which is based directly on the page count, will also be calculated.

Purchasers can choose the format for the printed copy—A4 or B5 size, hole-punched or not. (Holes can be punched in a configuration that fits the binders formerly produced for storing hard copies of NSW legislation or to fit an A4 two-ring binder.) All titles are printed in black and white unless the title contains coloured graphics (e.g. road signs or maps)—these titles will be automatically printed in colour at a slightly higher cost per page.

Printed copies are posted to the address nominated by the purchaser or, in the Sydney CBD, are delivered by courier free of charge.

The NSW legislation website does not yet have online purchasing functionality for Bills and as made Acts and Statutory Instruments, however copies can be printed on request by contacting the LitSupport (TIMG) service desk directly to enquire (email NSWLegislation@timg.com or phone 02 9210 5920).

The fires are also having a devastating effect on wildlife. WIRES have set up an emergency fund, with information available here.

We are liaising with various bodies to offer the Association’s support, where possible, to assist those affected by the bushfires to access legal services. We will keep you informed of those discussions.
