Under section 18 , an agency includes a Minister, a department, a local
government or a public authority. However, section 20 provides that for the
application of this Act, other than chapter 3 , or this Act other than for the
purposes of chapter 3 , to a Minister, the Act applies only for acts done, or
practices engaged in, as the case may be, in the Minister’s capacity as a
Minister in relation to the affairs of an agency administered by the Minister.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1) , the agency— (a) must not do an act, or
engage in a practice, that contravenes, or is otherwise inconsistent with a
requirement of, an IPP; and
(b) must not fail to do an act, or fail to engage
in a practice, if the failure contravenes, or is otherwise inconsistent with a
requirement of, an IPP.
(3) An act or practice mentioned in subsection (2)
includes any act or practice relating to the agency’s collection, storage,
handling, accessing, amendment, management, transfer, use or disclosure of
personal information.
