ACT Data Sharing Policy
Summary
The ACT Data Sharing Policy commits the ACT Government to share data where it is safe, legal, and ethical to do.
Sharing data will help us improve the wellbeing of Canberrans and visitors through the safe and effective use of data in our decisions.
Data sharing means making information or data available to another agency, organisation or person under agreed conditions. When we share data, we are clear about who it is shared with and why, and the specific conditions, controls, and safeguards under which it is shared.
The Policy supports staff to meet this obligation by providing:
- a risk-based assessment framework
- a data sharing MOU between participating ACT Government directorates which outlines the general terms for sharing data under the Policy
- an external data sharing agreement template.
