The Attorney-General's Department released a May 2020 Privacy Impact Assessment examining privacy risks arising from COVID-19-related remote working arrangements. The Strategy and Governance Branch surveyed business units handling significant personal information and identified several vulnerabilities: staff uncertainty about identifying personal information types; approximately 11% of units unsure about information security and remote working policies; 33% unaware of access monitoring methods; and 27% unfamiliar with the Data Breach Response Plan. The assessment recommended staff training on Privacy Act definitions, personal information types, remote working risks, access monitoring procedures, and data breach reporting protocols. The document includes standard PIA methodology, stakeholder consultation details, and Australian Privacy Principles summaries. The disclosure follows OAIC advice from April 2020 and reflects departmental responses to pandemic-related operational changes.
