Start here
Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Privacy Act 1988 - Part VI - Public Interest Determination No. 13 - Disclosure and collection of personal information to improve outcomes for children and young people at risk of serious harm.
On balance, having taken all of the above factors into consideration and, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, I have found that the public interest in permitting the relevant acts or practices substantially outweighs adherence to NPP 2.1 and NPP 10.1 in the relevant circumstances.
I am of the view that the central public interest objective being served by this determination is the provision of coordinated human services to facilitate early intervention and ultimately, improved child protection outcomes.
I am satisfied that the sharing of personal information for the purposes of lessening or preventing a serious threat to the life, health or safety of a child or young person facilitates effective early intervention.
