In such cases, a Privacy Code of Practice can modify the Act to allow the agency to carry out its function. The Department of Education and Communities has in place a Privacy Code of Practice to allow for the work of schools and TAFE NSW colleges - broadly, it covers the following domains:
Investigative functions.
Parents/caregivers.
Counsellor records.
