The Privacy (Australian Government Agencies - Governance) APP Code 2017 (Cth) (the APP Code) requires that all agencies, including the National Library of Australia (the Library) must conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment for all high privacy risk projects.

A project may be a high privacy risk project if the Library considers that the project involves any new or changed ways of handling personal information that are likely to have a significant impact on the privacy of individuals.

The Library is also required to conduct a PIA if directed to do so by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

The Library is required to maintain a register of all PIAs it conducts and must publish that register, or a version of that register, on its website.

This following PIA register is published in full compliance with the APP Code requirements.
