COLLECTION OF DATA BY JURISDICTIONS
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cwlth) does not regulate state or territory agencies, except for the Australian Capital Territory. The remaining states and territories operate under their own privacy requirements that are based on the National Privacy Principles, which is contained in schedule 3 of the Privacy Act. Data collected by jurisdictions for the National Early Childhood Education and Care Collection (the Collection) is subject to state, territory and Commonwealth legislation, which applies to the Collection and on-provision of data to the ABS.
All data providers need to guarantee that relevant state, territory and Commonwealth legislation requirements have been acknowledged and addressed to ensure that correct procedures and protocols are followed in collecting unit record level information.
