New Privacy Practice Note: Information sharing Between Agencies
November 20, 2014 - 1:57pm
We have recently published a new resource to help agencies understand the practical application of obligations under the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld) (IP Act).
The first topic in this new format is information sharing. Agencies are seeking to share information including personal information between themselves in order to more effectively and efficiently provide and target government resources, support and services to the community. OIC advises that privacy issues need not prevent the sharing of information between agencies however, the privacy impacts need to be carefully considered and factored in to any such arrangement.
