On 28 September every year we celebrate International Access to Information Day (IAID) — a UNESCO-recognised global event that champions the fundamental right to information.
Access to accurate and reliable information empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and drives transparency, inclusivity, and social progress.
This year’s theme, Fact vs fake: Tackling information disorder in the digital age, takes aim at the growing challenge of misinformation, disinformation and malinformation.

These threats to information integrity have far-reaching consequences, undermining trust, democracy, and community wellbeing.
However, the public sector and independent media play a vital role in safeguarding the integrity of information, promoting open government, and fostering trust through transparency.
One way that OIC promotes this key message is the annual Solomon Lecture. It is an integral part of IAID, so don’t miss it on 28 September 2026.
This event brings together thought leaders to explore how we can combat information disorder and ensure Queenslanders have access to reliable, credible information.
Together, let’s champion the power of information to create a safer, more informed, and inclusive society.
