An information access apparatus for an optical disc according to the present invention has an optical head transporting device for initiating movement of the laser focusing point to a different plane on an optical disc, and an optical head seek controlling device for radially transporting an optical head to a target track radially of the optical disc while counting tracks on a plane of a predetermined layer of the optical disc. A plane selecting device is provided for selecting the plane having an optimum SN ratio of a tracking signal a maximum amplitude tracking signal, or a maximum amplitude readout signal obtained from each recording layer of the optical disc when retrieving information on the optical disc, and a focus jump controlling device is provided for controlling movement from a plane on which focusing is currently performed to another plane selected by the plane selecting device when an information access command is issued from a host device.
