Privacy impact assessment register

The Privacy (Australian Government Agencies – Governance) APP Code 2017 (Privacy Code) requires us to undertake privacy impact assessments (PIAs) in certain instances and to maintain a register of those PIAs from 1 July 2018.

The Privacy Code also requires us to publish the register, or a version of the register, on our website.
