The Privacy (Australian Government Agencies – Governance) APP Code 2017 requires all agencies, including Safe Work Australia, to:

  • conduct a PIA for all high privacy risk projects
  • publish and maintain a register of PIAs – the Privacy Impact Assessment Register.

High privacy risk projects

A high privacy risk project is a project with new or changed ways of handling personal information, which may significantly impact peoples’ privacy.
