In May 2024, the Office of Local Government (OLG) advised Councils to implement a Data Breach policy that complies with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (PPIP Act) and the new Mandatory Notification of Data Breach Scheme.
The purpose of the Data Breach Policy is to inform the public of CDSC’s processes for identifying, managing, responding to and reporting data breaches of CDSC-held information. This will also help CDSC:
• Meet its legislated obligations under the PIPP Act
• Comply with the attached best-practice guidelines issued by the Information and Privacy Commissioner of NSW (IPC)
• Avoid or reduce possible harm to both affected individuals and CDSC. The draft policy is supported by CDSC’s Records Management Framework.
The draft Data Breach Policy was adopted at the June Council meeting to be placed on exhibition for 28 days for public comment. Submissions must be received by 8 August at 4pm. Submissions must be made in writing to: The General Manager, Central Darling Shire Council, PO Box 165, Wilcannia NSW 2836 Or by email to: council@centraldarling.nsw.gov.au Submissions will not be accepted via social media.
