Purpose
The PLIDA Board provides strategic direction, governance and oversight of PLIDA and develops the PLIDA Strategy which outlines the vision and purpose of PLIDA.
The PLIDA Board considers how new and emerging data initiatives impact strategic priorities, and hence evaluates the risks and benefits of linking additional data to the asset.
The PLIDA Board also considers longer term data sharing arrangements between Commonwealth agencies to guide future collaborative work.
Data custodians are responsible for the preparation of source data and metadata that is shared and data supply is negotiated between the ABS and data custodians. Approval is sought from custodians for each project seeking to use their data. Data custodian supply and access responsibilities are retained regardless of PLIDA Board membership.
PLIDA maximises the use of data while keeping it safe and secure. More information is available on the Privacy in PLIDA and Keeping integrated data safe pages.
When looking at including new datasets and data types in PLIDA, we consider:
- the public benefit of the data
- the utility of the data
- sensitivities or restrictions related to the data
- the safety of the data.
We assess these principles for all new datasets and data types proposed to be linked with PLIDA. This includes both once-off and enduring linkages.
The PLIDA Privacy Statement outlines what personal information is collected and shared, and how it will be used, as well as how people can apply to access or correct their personal information.
