What’s new or changing

• The Information and Privacy Commission NSW (IPC) has launched the Privacy Governance Framework (PGF), a new resource to help councils manage their responsibilities under the NSW privacy regime.

What this will mean for your council

• IPC suggests councils and county councils include the PGF in their internal governance to help better understand and address their roles and responsibilities in relation to privacy management.

Key points

• The PGF is an online interactive tool designed to assist NSW public sector agencies to;
  • understand the NSW privacy and personal information protection framework;
  • identify how the NSW privacy regime can be effectively implemented; and
  • help agencies identify, measure and resolve privacy risks to comply with NSW privacy legislation.

Where to go for further information

• The PGF can be found at: http://www.ipc.nsw.gov.au/privacy-governance-framework
• Contact IPC directly for further information: Telephone: 1800 472 679 or email: ipcinfo@ipc.nsw.gov.au
