We proudly announce the launch of OIA Manager, a comprehensive platform designed from the ground up to help New Zealand government organisations manage Official Information Act (OIA) and Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA) requests.

 

 

Built for New Zealand, By New Zealand

Unlike overseas solutions adapted for our market, OIA Manager was designed specifically for New Zealand's legislative framework:

• 20 working day tracking with automatic deadline calculations that account for public holidays and the Christmas closedown period.

• Withholding grounds aligned with Sections 6 and 9 of the OIA.

• Extension management that follows statutory requirements.

• LGOIMA support for local government with council-specific workflows.

Key Features

• Centralised Request Dashboard: See all active requests at a glance. Filter by status, deadline, assignee, or department.

• Smart Deadline Management: Automatic calculation of working days with proactive alerts as deadlines approach.

• Document Library: A secure, searchable repository to link documents to requests, track versions, and maintain a complete audit trail.

• Team Collaboration: Assign requests, add internal notes, and maintain clear accountability throughout the response process.

• Email Integration: File emails directly to requests, maintaining a complete communication history without switching systems.

• Secure Access Control: Role-based permissions ensure information is accessible only to authorised staff.

Who Is OIA Manager For?

OIA Manager is designed for any New Zealand organisation with OIA or LGOIMA obligations, including:

• Central government agencies managing high volumes of ministerial and departmental requests.

• Local councils balancing LGOIMA compliance with limited resources.

• Universities and polytechnics handling requests from students, staff, and the public.

• District Health Boards and health agencies navigating sensitive health information requests.

• Crown entities meeting their transparency obligations.

Our Commitment

We believe transparency is fundamental to democratic accountability. Our mission is to make compliance easier—not just for the organisations processing requests, but ultimately for the New Zealand public who have a right to access official information.

We are committed to:

• Continuous improvement based on user feedback and legislative changes.

• Local support from a team that understands New Zealand's public sector.

• Affordable pricing that works for organisations of all sizes.
