Privacy

The ACT does not have its own Privacy legislation and is subject to the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988.

The Federal Privacy Act contains eleven Information Privacy Principles (IPPs), which apply to Commonwealth and ACT government agencies. It also has ten National Privacy Principles (NPPs) which apply to parts of the private sector and all health service providers.
