Privacy Management

Camden Council has published a Privacy Management Plan (the Plan) for the purpose of section 33 of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (PPIPA). It is tailored to Council’s requirements from a model plan which was developed for NSW councils by the Office of Local Government, in consultation with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and Local Government NSW. The Plan identifies how Council complies with both the Information Protection Principles in the PPIPA and the Health Privacy Principles in the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (HRIPA). It provides information about a person’s rights under the PPIPA, HRIPA and the Plan.

Council's Privacy Management Plan, including relevant forms, is available at Policies for you to view.

You can also obtain further information about NSW laws that protect personal and health information at the website of the Information and Privacy Commission, including information about your rights as a citizen and the obligations of public sector agencies under these laws.
