Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

The instrument requires officers under the Census and Statistics Act 1905 to sign a short, witnessed undertaking to perform their duties faithfully and keep supplied information confidential, except where disclosure is authorised by the Act or is for Act purposes. It affects those officers, people who supply information to the Bureau, and third parties seeking access. It matters because it formalises personal secrecy obligations, channels disclosures through existing statutory determinations, and creates modest administrative and compliance duties for agencies.
