After 27 years, we have a new Privacy Act! The changes include mandatory reporting of privacy breaches, a new Information Privacy Principle strengthening controls on information going overseas, and new enforcement powers for the Privacy Commissioner. The aim of the new legislation is to encourage agencies to be more proactive about privacy - to identify risks and prevent incidents that could cause harm.

What does the new Act mean for government ICT? What changes might be needed to our systems and processes? What are the key things you need to be thinking about in order to prepare? This forum will help you to answer these questions.

We will be hearing from John Edwards, New Zealand's Privacy Commissioner.

This event will now be hosted online. People who have registered here on Eventbrite will be sent details on how to join 24 hours before the event starts.
