'Structure of privacy within the Department'

The Departments privacy reporting structure sees informal and formal reporting between business units Privacy Coordinators and the Senior Privacy Advisor located within Executive Services. The Senior Privacy Advisor reports to the Manager of FOI & Privacy Coordination who reports to the Director Executive Services who in turn reports to the Executive Director, Corporate Services and subsequently to the Secretary. This reporting structure is reflected in the Diagram below. Each business unit assigns an individual responsible for privacy issues. This person is required to act as a liaison between the business unit and the Senior Privacy Advisor on privacy matters. This structure ensures that accountability for privacy remains with business units who manage on a day to day basis individuals personal and health information. This also ensures privacy issues are considered throughout the Department which reflects the fact that personal and health information flows everywhere within our organisation. Privacy Coordinators located throughout the Department are able to alert the Senior Privacy Advisor and managers to emerging privacy issues and call on additional resources to prevent small issues from becoming major issues.
