Disclaimer

The NSW Government is committed to enhancing the public availability, dissemination and exchange of information. The NSW Office for Science and Medical Research website has been established as an entry point to provide quick and easily access to science and medical research-related information on the internet. It has been developed and made accessible to encourage the public availability and free exchange of information.

Despite the relatively unregulated nature of the Internet, there are several matters you should bear in mind when visiting the site.

Website disclaimer

This website contains information, documents, pages and images prepared by the New South Wales Department of State and Regional Development (DSRD).

While the information contained in this website has been formulated with all due care, DSRD does not warrant or represent that the information is free from errors or omission, or that it is exhaustive.

The information is made available on the understanding that the State of New South Wales and its employees and agents shall have no liability (including but not limited to liability by reason of negligence) to the users for any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred or arising by reason of any person using or relying on the information and whether caused by reason of any error, omission or misrepresentation in the information or otherwise. Information posted at this site and all inclusions are not to be taken as advice. Users of the website will be responsible for making their own assessment of the information and should verify all relevant representations, statements and information with their own professional advisers.
 
Furthermore, while the information is considered to be true and correct at the date of publication, changes in circumstances after the time of publication may affect the accuracy of the information. The information may change without notice and the State of NSW is not in any way liable for the accuracy of any information printed and stored by a user.

Recognising that some of the information is provided by third parties, the State of New South Wales takes no responsibility for the accuracy, currency, reliability and correctness of any information included in the information provided by third parties, nor for the accuracy, currency, reliability and correctness of links or references to information sources (including Internet sites) outside of the Department. These external information sources are outside the control of the Department and it is therefore the responsibility of the Internet users to make their own decisions about the accuracy, reliability and correctness of information found on those external Internet links.

Links to other sites

Care has been taken to provide links on this site to websites that are suitable reference sources. However, the nature of the Internet prevents the State of New South Wales (the State) from guaranteeing the suitability or accuracy of any material that this site may be linked to. Consequently, the State:
• does not represent that the material appearing on linked sites is complete, accurate or up-to-date;
• does not necessarily endorse that material;
• does not accept responsibility or liability for any loss, damage, cost or expense that you might incur as a result of using or relying on that material;
• does not guarantee that any of the linked sites will be available at any particular time.

Similarly, the fact that a site is not linked to the DSRD site does not necessarily imply any non-endorsement or criticism of that site by the State.

It is your responsibility to conduct your own investigations and enquiries, and make your own decisions, concerning the information retrieved from linked sites.

If you are offended or upset by any material appearing on a linked site please contact us. You may lodge a complaint with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). To find out more, visit ACMA's website.
