- Identify privacy risks, escalate issues, and provide business units with mitigation strategy recommendations.
- Track, investigate, and report inappropriate access or disclosure of information, and support education and awareness activities to prevent re-occurrence.
- Engage with regulatory bodies such as the Office of the Information Commissioner or CCC for any privacy matters lodged.
- Provide timely, expert privacy advice to stakeholders and senior leadership on complex information governance issues.
- Mentor and support health information teams on privacy-related matters.
- Ensure all solutions are aligned with Queensland Health strategic direction, standards, and protocols.
Skills and experience
- Minimum 3 years' experience in privacy, governance, or information management roles.
- Strong understanding of privacy legislation (e.g., Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld)) and health information governance frameworks.
- Demonstrated experience completing PIAs and PHAs for digital or technology initiatives.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, able to work across technical and non-technical teams.
- Experience investigating privacy incidents and implementing risk mitigation strategies.
- Previous experience within Queensland Health, HHS, or another large government organisation is highly desirable.
- Relevant qualifications or certifications in privacy, data governance, or risk management are advantageous.
Benefits
- Initial contract through to December 2025 with possible extensions.
- Hybrid working arrangements from a Brisbane location.
- Chance to influence privacy practices in a leading digital health environment.
