Places named in this headline: New South Wales, Australia
The Information and Privacy Commission NSW (IPC) has announced its support for United Nations Day on 24 October 2026. The annual observance marks the anniversary of the 1945 entry into force of the UN Charter, the founding document that officially brought the United Nations into existence in 1948.
According to the IPC, both the right to access information and the right to privacy are established in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Within New South Wales, the commission noted that these rights are protected under several state legislative frameworks, including the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, the Government Information (Information Commissioner) Act 2009, the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998, and the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002.
The IPC stated that it assists individuals in understanding and exercising their privacy and information access rights, providing online resources and animations for members of the public and NSW public sector agencies.
