Role Title: Privacy, Information Governance and Policy Development Intern
Organisation: Town of Bassendean
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Bassendean
The intern will support a significant organisational project relating to the Privacy and Responsible Information Sharing Act, helping to strengthen the organisation’s privacy and information management practices.
Working alongside the relevant team, the intern will contribute to the development of a centralised privacy and information register, consolidating information and records from across the organisation. The project will also involve supporting the preparation of policies, procedures and management practices to guide responsible information handling and ensure organisational readiness for the requirements of the legislation.
This is an opportunity to contribute to a substantial governance and compliance project, with work scheduled to progress to Council consideration by the end of the year. The knowledge and experience gained through this project will provide valuable exposure to a legislative framework that applies across Western Australian public sector agencies and local governments, making the skills developed highly transferable.
Over the next 10 years, our Town and community will be:
A welcoming and inclusive community whose members know and support each other.
A community and local government that take environmentally sustainable actions for our Town, State, country and planet.
An accessible place with a rich natural environment, thriving town centre and precincts, and connection to history.
Supported by a proactive local government that makes brave decisions and enables positive change.
Resilient, adaptable to change and moving towards self-sufficiency
