Privacy impact assessment register

The Privacy Code requires the ATO to carry out and maintain a register of certain privacy impact assessments (PIAs).

Last updated 10 September 2025

The Privacy (Australian Government Agencies – Governance) APP Code 2017External Link (Privacy Code) requires us to undertake privacy impact assessments (PIAs).

We carry out PIAs where the project involves a new or changed way of handling personal information, that is likely to have a significant impact on the privacy of individuals.

The Privacy Code also requires us to maintain and publish a register (or a version of the register) of completed PIAs from 1 July 2018 on our website.
