This guide outlines the different classes of information within the publication scheme along with how to classify information holdings for uploading to the publication scheme

The Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act) commenced on 1 July 2009. The IP Act contains 11 Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) which apply to the Department of Justice and Attorney-General. IPP 5 places an obligation on agencies to take steps to ensure that people are aware of the types of personal information held by an agency, why they are held, and how an individual can access their personal information. This document is designed to meet the obligations imposed by IPP 5, and contains information about the structure of the department, the differing types of personal information held, the reasons such personal information is held, and how you may access your own personal information.

This handbook is designed to give you a general overview of when you might need to consider the obligations in the Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act) and what to do, where to look for more information or who to ask for advice when you need it
