A guide to privacy laws in NSW

The 15 Health Privacy Principles (HPPs) are the key to the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (HRIP Act).

Local councils in NSW have been granted an exemption from provisions under the PPIP Act to use CCTV cameras in public places.

Form: Privacy complaint internal review application form

The Information and Privacy Commission NSW (IPC) strives to engage effectively with our stakeholder groups.

Part 6 of the Ombudsman Act 1974 permits two or more relevant agencies to enter into arrangements for the sharing of information held by them.

The Privacy Commissioner may be required to approve a privacy protocol that allows an agency's departure from the IPPs under the PPIP Act.

The purpose of this Privacy Management Plan (PMP) is to explain how the IPC manages personal and health information in accordance with NSW privacy laws.

This is an application form for the review of conduct under section 53 of the PPIP Act or section 21 of the HRIP Act.

This checklist is a useful tool for an agency to assess the content of a PMP once it has already been prepared.
