Dear Office of the Australian Information Commissioner,
With regards to my scope, just to avoid any misunderstanding, when I say:
“The only fields sought are:
* Position Number
* Job Title (or equivalent)
* Classification/Job Level (or equivalent)
* Reports to
* Filled/Unfilled (whether the position currently has an occupant, whether
on leave or not)”
I mean those fields, or if your HRMIS system calls them by a slightly different title, those they equate to (or would be identified as being related to). Requiring an exact match on field description to bring them in scope, if the actual field name (if different) can be understood as relating to those descriptions, would be inconsistent with the objects and aims of the Act.
Ciao,
Julie
