• Handbook for Members of the Privacy Committee

The Privacy Committee of South Australia has six members appointed by the Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management.

The Privacy Committee oversees the application of the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) by State Government agencies, reports to the Minister and provides advice on privacy issues. The IPPs requires the principal officer of each agency to ensure the principles are implemented, maintained and observed in respect to the personal information they collect and hold. Further information about the Privacy Committee may be found at the end of the IPPs instruction.

The connection between the Privacy Committee and State Records is particularly strong because of the importance of good records management to the protection and proper management of personal information. State Records provides executive support to the Privacy Committee. If you feel that a State Government agency may have breached the Information Privacy Principles further information can be found by selecting 'Making a Privacy Complaint' from the Related Information links below.

State Government agencies can contact the Privacy Committee via the Executive Officer, Privacy Committee of South Australia.
