Conclusions regarding the public interest
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.
