The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) promotes a culture that values privacy and is committing to protecting personal information shared with us. The NDIS Commission completes privacy impact assessments (PIA) for high-risk privacy projects to ensure privacy considerations are taken into account from the outset of a project and through its lifecycle. PIAs provide a systematic assessment of compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 to identify potential privacy risks and provide mitigation strategies for managing, minimising or eliminating risks.
The NDIS Commission is required by section 15.1 of the Privacy (Australian Government Agencies – Governance) APP Code 2017 to maintain a register of the privacy impact assessments (PIAs) it conducts, and to publish that register on its website.
