Privacy Awareness Week 2025 (16-22 June)
Queensland will celebrate Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) from 16-22 June 2025 and we invite public sector agencies and the community to be a part of the week-long event. This year’s theme is ‘Privacy: it’s everyone’s business’.
PAW shines a light on the importance of protecting and respecting personal information, both from the perspective of agencies and the community.
Every year Queenslanders are becoming more interested and invested in their personal privacy and the value of their personal information, given the digital world we live in. The community is also expecting agencies to be doing everything they can to protect their personal information.
The 2025 PAW theme resonates with many people, as it highlights that both the community and public sector (from the top to the bottom) must take privacy seriously. After all, it’s everyone’s business.
During PAW it’s a great time for a refresher, so we’re sharing helpful tips and resources below on how to protect personal information, whether you work in the public sector, or if you’re a member of the community wondering if there is more you can do to protect your own privacy.
We also encourage you to join the PAW conversation on social media and use the following hashtags:
