Alerts

Sign up to a range of Special Interest Area Alerts, Instant email alerts or personal alerts

Select your preferred delivery method and frequency to monitor any area you may have interest in. LexisNexis Capital Monitor uses state-of-the-art search-and-push technology to ensure subscribers have the very latest news and information.

Whether it's climate change, superannuation, transport, infrastructure, corporations law, local government, health, industrial relations, taxation, social trends or anything else, you can sign up to pre-existing Special Interest Area Alerts, Government Portfolio-specific Instant Email Alerts, or create your very own customised Personal Alerts.

Special Interest Area Alerts – select from more than 400 topics across Federal, State and Territory jurisdiction to cover political, legislative, regulatory, industry and judicial news and information.

Instant Email Alerts – cherry-pick from 42 main Government Portfolio-specific categories, each with their own sub-topics, to monitor all that happens within Federal Government and convoy industry reaction, in real time throughout the day. *Not available for the States and Territories*

Personal Alerts – create unlimited highly targeted individual alerts to follow all that may be too specific for any of our already created topics.

The Email Alerts service works in the following way: the subject is the qualifier - this means that regardless of the type of document (press release, parliamentary report, legislation, or anything else) and author (Government, Opposition, or Industry Associations) the document is assigned to the relevant topic that it pertains to.
