BACKGROUND The Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 (Reform Act)
passed through the Australian Parliament on 29 November 2012 and received royal assent on 12 December 2012.
The Reform Act includes a set of new, harmonised, privacy principles for both the public and private sector, called the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
These principles will commence 12 March 2014 and replace the existing Information Privacy Principles (IPPs).
There will be 13 new APPs. A number of the APPs differ from the existing IPPs and will require the department to review, and in some cases modify, the way it manages personal information.
The project team has adopted a phased approach to implementation, focusing on three key areas:
Operational (Advice and guidance to business areas about forms, manuals, letters, instructions, notices, contracts)
Policy & Procedure (Advice and guidance to business areas on activities concerning the collection, release, storage and use of sensitive information)
Key focus areas (Advice and guidance to business areas about customer records, employee awareness, Customer messaging, Service delivery)
A number of briefings and forums have been held to assist business areas to prepare for the privacy reforms.
On 30 April 2013, General and National Managers participated in a ‘familiarisation’ briefing presented by the Legal Services Division.
On 1 May 2013, the Australian Information Commissioner Professor John McMillan presented an overview of the reforms to SES officers.
The project team have, on request, briefed various business areas across the department about the reforms and have workshopped the potential impacts of the reforms on those business areas’ operations.
Additional briefings continue to be provided to key branches to assist with preparations for implementation of the reforms.
