No access under planned data sharing laws without accreditation.
A privacy impact assessment of the federal government’s planned public sector data sharing scheme has called for agencies to be subject to the same accreditation requirements as the private sector.
The independent PIA [pdf], released last week, is the third assessment of the reforms, which are bookended as the
Data Availability and Transparency Bill (DATB) currently before parliament.
If passed, the bill will allow accredited users and data service providers (ADSPs) to access data for three purposes: service delivery, informing policy and programs and research and development.
