Inquiry into the Education (General Provisions) Amendment Bill 2025
OIC welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Education, Arts and Communities Committee’s inquiry into the Education (General Provisions) Amendment Bill 2025 (Bill). OIC recommends that agencies take a ‘Privacy by Design’ approach to new technologies and projects by conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment before implementing policy proposals to enable external service providers to collect, hold, manage and use personal information, particularly where it could pose a significant privacy or data security risk for the community.
