Section 33 of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (PPIPA) requires Council to have a Privacy Management Plan.

The purpose of a Privacy Management Plan is to:

• ensure that the agency has identified how the requirements of the PPIP Act and the HRIP Act apply to the personal and health information that it manages
• explain the agency’s functions and activities and the main types of personal or health information that the agency deals with to carry out those functions and activities
• explain the agency’s strategies to comply with the PPIP Act and HRIP Act
• provide staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage personal and health information appropriately
• ensure that members of the public understand:

• how to make a complaint or request an internal review if they consider that their privacy may have been breached
• how to request access to their personal or health information or an amendment of that information to ensure that it is accurate
• encourage the agency to be transparent and accountable in how it manages personal and health information.

The Draft Privacy Management Plan is on public exhibition for a period of 42 days. It will open from Thursday 13 December 2024 and will close on Thursday 23 January 2025.
