Although Tasmania does not have its own privacy legislation, the Tasmanian Government supports the maintenance of privacy standards by government and non-government bodies through the use of policy and codes of practice. The Tasmania State Government has established a set of Information Privacy Principles for use by State Government departments. The TFS adheres to these principles.
In addition to this the TFS is bound by the State Service Act 2000 which sets down State Service Principles and a State Service Code of Conduct. These define acceptable and unacceptable behaviour within the State Service and contain references to confidentiality and use of government information and resources.
The Tasmanian Government and its service providers value the privacy of every individual's personal information.
We are committed to protecting the information we collect and use by compliance with the obligations provided under the Personal Information Protection Act 2004.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is accurate, complete and up to date whenever the Tasmanian Government discloses or uses it.
