10:00 AM Information Access and Privacy, Data Protection and Sharing: A New Approach for Modern Government
The OVIC aims to ensure that the government’s collection, use and disclosure of information is conducted in a way that serves the community, as envisaged by Parliament. The OVIC has combined oversight of Freedom of Information, privacy, and data protection. This combines the functions of the previous Office of the Commissioner for Privacy and Data Protection and the Office of the Freedom of Information Commissioner.
This session will explore:
- The establishment of a new direction for engagement with public sector agencies that will assist them in information management and access issues and to drive positive systemic and cultural change
- Building a consistent regulatory approach across all three areas of FOI, privacy and data protection
- Opening up about any potential data issues and finding a solution
