Hyperlinks in document no longer working

Some of our older documents contain hyperlinks that no longer work.

To access documents that were part of the AIRC 2008-2009 award modernisation process, you can search for the titles of those documents and apply filters to refine your search. You can also use our Award Document Search and search by award code to find the relevant award.

Examples:
If trying to access a hyperlink that linked to an exhibit, instead you can select ‘Exhibits’ in the ‘Document type’ filter and search for the exhibit name (e.g. "Stage2FB16".)

If trying to access a hyperlink in a research schedule that linked to a clause of an award, use our Award Document Search and search by award code (e.g. AP790741CRV) to find the relevant award. You can then navigate to the relevant clause.

Helpful hints for Document Search

Search terms and suggestions

When you enter a search term, Document Search will search within the text of all the documents in our library, not just the title of the documents. The search text box will suggest search terms as you type. The suggestions are based on words that can be found in all of the documents.

Search operators let you control and narrow down your search results.

Phrase Search - " "

Search Operator - AND

Search Operator - OR

Search Operator - NOT

Proximity Search - ~

Wildcard Search - *

By combining operators, you can hone in on the exact cases you want.

For example: marine tourism~1 AND charter vessels~1 AND schedule NOT "stage 3" - should return documents that mention marine tourism, charter vessels and schedules, without including documents that mention stage 3 of the review. 

You can also combine your search with filters and sorting to get more specific.

For example: Searching for "Household income" and filtering by the "Submission" Document type and sorting from Newest to Oldest will give you a chronological list of all the Submissions that contain the exact phrase Household income.

Selected filters

You can select more than one filter option at a time. If you select more than one filter, it will only show results that are tagged with all the selected filters, rather than results that have either of the selected filter option.

For example, if you select both the “Correspondence” Document type filter and the “AIRC” Organisation filter, the results will only be those tagged as both Correspondence and AIRC, rather than all the documents tagged as either Correspondence or AIRC.
