about us
what we do
Access Communications gathers and distributes pure political and regulatory information required by decision-makers to assist in effective business and risk management.
We source, collate, store and disseminate information in accordance with each client's unique brief. This ensures that our subscribers only recieve information that is of relevance and value to them.
Subscribers develop their briefs to include a combination of services which may
include:
- Monitoring of more than 40 categories and over
350 topics across Federal, State and Territorial jurisdictions
- Specialist publications
- Monitoring of particular issues and events
- Location and supply of reference and source
materials
- Specific research assignments
Information is delivered (and stored) electronically, often in real time, which means that the information is made available to our subscribers as quickly as possible.
We do not interpret nor comment on the information gathered. Our subscribers recieve material free of any Access opinion or views. Content, other than when summarised in our publications, is provided as issued from the source.
As Australia's oldest agency of our type, we combine our depth of experience with modern technology to deliver a service that decision-makers and opinion leaders can't afford to be without.

our history
Access Communications Asia Pacific Pty Ltd began its life as Specialised Press Agency in 1961 and as such is Australia's oldest agency of its type. Having monitored events in the national capital for more than 40 years we have established a reputation for reliability and excellence that is second to none.
In 1990 Specialised Press Agency expanded its operations to incorporated the Political Reference Service. With offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra we were able to broaden our coverage to include state as well as federal issues.
In the late 1990s, with the advent of the Internet and in response to the changing preferences of our subscribers, we introduced Australian Politics Online. At the same time, the offerings of Australian Politics Online, Political Reference Service and Specialised Press Agency were consolidated as Access Communications Asia Pacific Pty Ltd.
In October 2000 Access Communications became a member of the CCH Asia Pacific group of companies. It is operated as an independent, but wholly owned subsidiary of CCH Asia Pacific.
our future
With the resources and experience of CCH, one of Australia's leading publishers of professional information, now available to us we are looking to further expand and improve the services we offer.
At present we are investing in further developments of our proprietary information management database, to ensure that we continue to lead the way in the rapid and efficient distribution political and regulatory information.
We anticipate the introduction of a number of new services in the coming twelve months including Access Forum and Access Content. In addition we are exploring opportunities that will enable us to broaden our area of coverage beyond Australia.
