You're Invited – Canberra Privacy Awareness Breakfast

Guardians of Data in an AI driven world: Securing PII in the Public Sector

Start your day with purpose! Join us for a dynamic Privacy Awareness Week breakfast event in Canberra, where leaders and professionals will gather to explore the critical issue of protecting personally identifiable information (PII) in an AI-driven world.

As part of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioners (OAIC) annual Privacy Awareness Week for 2025, RIMPA Global, supported by DatacomIT have collaborated with New World Records to bring you a Breakfast that explores the evolving landscape of data security in government and public institutions, offering practical insights into how organisation can strengthen their defences and uphold public trust.

We also explore how AI is reshaping the landscape of data privacy and security in government and public services. We’ll examine the new challenges AI introduces, the regulatory frameworks that guide responsible use, and the practical steps agencies can take to safeguard PII while embracing innovation.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What constitutes PII and why it’s a high-value target
  • The latest threats and vulnerabilities facing public sector data
  • Key regulatory and compliance requirements (e.g., Australian Privacy Act 1988 (the Privacy Act)
  • Proven strategies for securing PII - from access controls to encryption
  • How to build a culture of data protection across your organization
  • Tools and technologies that support proactive data governance
  • How AI technologies impact the collection, use, and protection of PII
  • Key risks and vulnerabilities introduced by AI in public sector environments
  • Legal, ethical, and compliance considerations for AI-driven data use

Who Should Attend:
This session is ideal for Records and Information Management professionals, IT leaders, data protection officers, compliance professionals, policy makers, and anyone involved in managing or securing sensitive information in the public sector.

We will also address the custodians of unique data that are interested in using AI but are not sure of the privacy implications.

Privacy Awareness Week is now in June, so it’s cold in Canberra. To warm you up and help put a smile on your face DatacomIT will be providing hot tea, coffee and breakfast for all those in attendance at the CSU seminar room in Barton giving you the chance to catch up with old friends and meet new, like-minded people.
