privacy laws and how they apply to private sector entities; and
·   
how to identify and manage privacy compliance issues.

The course also provides an overview of changes to privacy laws currently being considered by the Government following the Australian Law Reform Commission’s recent review of privacy laws.

Format The course is delivered in an interactive workshop format using a PowerPoint slideshow. Throughout modules, participants identify, apply and discuss relevant privacy principles in practical scenarios.
