Dear N.D.
Freedom of Information Request Decision
The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) refers to the Freedom of
Information request (FOI request) received from you on 26 June 2025 seeking access to:
“I request under the FOI Act, the Privacy Impact Analysis for FINTEL Al iance
Col aborative Analytics Hub’s first project which is described on this page on your
website: https://www.austrac.gov.au/harnessing-data-clearer-picture-money-
laundering
If no PIA was undertaken I request the records relating to whether a PIA was required
or not.”
AUSTRAC conducted searches based upon the information supplied within your FOI request
for documents meeting the scope of your request. AUSTRAC did not identify documents in
scope of the first part of your request, relating to the privacy impact assessment. However
AUSTRAC identified one document in scope of the second part of your request, relating to
the privacy threshold assessment.
I have not identified any relevant exemptions that apply to the document. However, the
document contains some information that could reasonably be considered to be irrelevant
to the scope of your request. Therefore, I have decided to release the document to you in
part, with the irrelevant information redacted under s 22 of the FOI Act.
