Context

Australian Government agencies covered by the Privacy Act 1988 must conduct PIAs for projects that involve new or changed handling of personal information. Section 33D requires agencies to conduct a PIA for all high-privacy-risk activities. The OAIC (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) publishes the Guide to undertaking privacy impact assessments, which defines the methodology.
