Every firm on the Australian Government Register of Lobbyists, the people it lists as its lobbyists, and the clients it represents, exactly as the register publishes them. Every firm, client and former office-holder is shown the same way.

Third-party lobbyists only. The register covers firms and people who lobby on behalf of a client. Organisations that lobby for themselves with their own staff (companies, unions, peak bodies, charities and industry associations) are not on it, so most lobbying by in-house staff isn't listed here.
Registering is legal and required. Under the Lobbying Code of Conduct, a third-party lobbyist must register itself and its clients before contacting a minister, their staff or a senior official, and government representatives must not deal with unregistered lobbyists. Being on this list means a firm is following that rule.
Cooling-off periods. Under the Lobbying Code of Conduct (section 11), former ministers and parliamentary secretaries must not lobby for 18 months on matters they dealt with in their last 18 months in office. Former ministerial staff at adviser level or above, agency heads, Senior Executive Service officers and ADF officers at Colonel level or above must wait 12 months on matters they dealt with in their last 12 months.
Meetings and money aren't published. The register lists who represents whom. It doesn't record which ministers or officials a lobbyist met, what was discussed, or how much a client pays.
No party, no sector. The register doesn't record a political party for anyone, or an industry or sector for clients, so this page doesn't either.
