Description
The Public Service Commission (PSC) has a new privacy code of practice for its workforce data collections. The code modifies the application of some information protection principles to the PSC.
The PSC protects personal information by complying with privacy legislation and its privacy code of practice.
Detailed Outline
The Public Service Commission has a new privacy code of practice called the ‘Privacy Code of Practice for the Public Service Commission’. The code was gazetted on 3 August 2018 and replaces two other codes:
-
the ‘Privacy Code of Practice for the NSW Workforce Profile’ (2012)
-
and the ‘Privacy Code of Practice and Management Arrangements for the Government Employee Number (GEN)’ (2015).
The new code covers the personal information collected, stored, and used by the PSC as part of its workforce data collections. It does not change the way the PSC manages or handles personal information in practice. Instead, it emphasises the importance of privacy in all the work the PSC does with the public sector workforce.
