Privacy in the Australian Public Service

Privacy is central to the work of the Australian Public Service (APS). As a public servant, the community trust you to look after their valuable personal information. Protecting and respecting the personal information that you handle creates public confidence in your agency, and in the work of the Australian Government more broadly.

The OAIC has developed two videos to highlight the importance of privacy for the APS. The videos provide practical tips for considering privacy in your day-to-day work, and when developing a new policy or starting a new project.

We encourage you to share these videos with your colleagues, and to include them in your internal communications and training programs.
