HRIP Act Training Program

Training about the HRIP Act

The training and education program has been created around four broad stakeholder groups:

  • Private sector, health providers;
  • Private sector, non-health organisations;
  • Public sector, non-health agencies; and
  • Advocates, lawyers and other interest groups

The separation of training sessions into these individual groups allowed us to tailor the training content to participants’ specific interests. This was done through a practical learning approach to the subject matter that utilised numerous case studies and open discussions.

The training that was offered focused around a Train the Trainer module and also half-day sessions comprised of three distinct modules. The three modules provided an introduction / overview of the Act and then drilled down into more specific content depending on the needs of the stakeholder audience.

Please note that the Train the Trainer module incorporated the same content as the Full half day session, however it equipped the participant to take their new knowledge on the HRIP Act back to their organisation, to educate other staff. As part of this module we provided you with more detailed case studies and additional resources.

To date Privacy NSW has trained over 1,100 people through this program and has undertaken more than 75 training sessions.

Please note that agencies within the public health system (such as area health services) will be trained by NSW Health; contact Victoria Davison on 02 9391 9092.

Please note that HRIP Act Training has (unfortunately) been deferred. We hope to resume it as soon as Privacy NSW has sufficient staff. Please contact Privacy NSW at privacy_nsw@agd.nsw.gov.au to put your name down for training when it becomes available.

If you require training in the near future, the Federal Office of the Privacy Commissioner provides a list of training providers on their website.
