Audit of information management maturity
February 14, 2019 - 10:22am
Our Information Management report was tabled in Parliament on 14 February 2019. We surveyed departments to find out what level of information management they aim to achieve, and their self‑assessment of their current maturity.
Good information management helps Queensland Government departments exploit fully the value of information and data as a strategic asset, deliver better government, improve service delivery to the community, and meet right to information and privacy obligations.
Audit of awareness of privacy obligations
February 12, 2019 - 9:40am
On Tuesday, 12 February 2019, we tabled our report in Parliament on how three government agencies educate and train their employees about their privacy obligations.
The public entrusts Queensland government agencies with their personal information in delivering their services to the community. The inadvertent or deliberate disclosure of personal information in carrying out these services can have serious consequences for the individual whose privacy has been breached, the organisation and the employee responsible for the breach.
