Sensitivity labels
At the Department of Justice (DoJ) we handle some of the most private and important information in Queensland.
To make sure we manage this information responsibly and securely, we now use sensitivity labels for our documents, letters and emails.
Keeping information safe and secure
Sensitivity labels help us protect information by marking it as sensitive or protected. They also allow us to set rules about who can access the information and how it can be used.
Sensitivity labels help prevent privacy breaches
These labels help us organise and protect information by showing how private it is.
They also help us understand what could happen if the information was shared with the wrong people. This could affect the department, other government agencies, or the public.
Controls add extra protection to a label. They limit who can open the files. They also control what people can and can’t do with the files.
Here’s what to expect
You may see labels on emails and document files you receive from us. They may be at the top or bottom of a document or email.
They look like this:
- OFFICIAL
- SENSITIVE
- PROTECTED
We aim for a seamless experience
We are working to make sure these labels don’t cause any issues for you.
However, there may be minor disruptions as we adjust to using them. For example, you might need to log in to access certain content.
If you have any trouble opening or using content we send, please let the person who sent it to you know.
