Change in Privacy Law Legislation
The new amendments enable the regulation of data-linking by public bodies, mandate the completion of privacy impact assessments by public bodies, permit broader sharing of personal information by public bodies, require public bodies to proactively release more information without an access request; create a new regime for Identity Management; and give the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner more oversight powers. The health sector has been granted an exemption from many of the new data-linking and privacy impact assessment requirements; the government has committed to further discussions with the Privacy Commissioner on the development of the regulations and an information-sharing code of practice.
