The Data Protection Impact Assessment Policy is essential for organizations operating in Australia that process personal information and need to comply with privacy legislation, particularly the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and its amendments. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to systematically assess and minimize privacy risks in their data processing activities. The policy is particularly relevant in light of increasing privacy regulations, data breach notification requirements, and the need for organizations to demonstrate privacy by design. It provides a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating privacy risks before implementing new systems, processes, or projects that involve personal data processing. The document ensures compliance with Australian privacy principles while also considering international best practices and requirements, making it suitable for both domestic and internationally operating organizations.
