Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is an annual event to raise awareness within the public sector and the broader community about the importance of protecting and respecting personal information.

It is a great reminder about the importance of protecting our personal information in our day-to-day activities.

We can all better protect and respect personal information by asking ourselves simple questions.

At every opportunity when personal information is collected, used, stored and shared consider: 

• How will the information be used? 
• Why it is being collected? 
• Who will have access to it? 

For more information see our Information and privacy page. You can also view the Community Checklist on the Office of the Information Commissioner Qld website.

If you have questions or concerns about how Council has collected, used, stored or shared your personal information, you should contact our Integrity and Information Program on 07 3412 3412.
