Does your agency have obligations under the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld)? Do you or your staff need privacy training?

The Office of the Information Commissioner (Queensland) has contracted with e3Learning Solutions to offer online training to anyone interested in learning more about information rights and obligations in Queensland.

The training course:

• the course is free of charge;
• is suitable for staff of government agencies with obligations under the Information Privacy Act (IP Act), including staff of contracted service providers (agencies providing services to or on behalf of the Queensland government and contractually bound to comply with the IP Act);
• provides basic privacy training for staff and agencies unable to participate in face-to-face training. Also, for staff and agencies that require privacy training immediately (e.g. as an induction process) or as part of an annual compliance regime; and
• includes the production of a Certificate of Completion for staff successfully completing the course.

What does the course cover?

This course is suitable for all employees of Queensland government agencies (departments, local councils, universities and public authorities, excluding health agencies and GOCs) and for employees of their contracted service providers. It explains Queensland’s general privacy landscape and takes participants through their privacy obligations contained in the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld), explains how the Information Privacy Principles operate, what steps to take to ensure compliance, and the consequences of non-compliances.

Health agency employees are recommended to complete the Queensland - Public Health Agencies and the Information Privacy Act course as it specifically deals with the National Privacy Principles relevant to health agencies.
