Privacy

The Victorian Auditor-General's Office supports and endorses the Information Privacy Principles established under Victoria's Information Privacy Act. These principles are applied to all activities within the Office, except where the exercise of the powers and responsibilities of the Auditor-General under the Audit Act creates an inconsistency with the requirements of the Information Privacy Act. In these situations, the provisions of the Audit Act prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.
