Help shape how we protect information and build trust. If you’re someone who naturally sees patterns, asks smart questions, and believes that privacy isn’t about restriction - it’s about respect - this could be your next chapter.
At the City of Armadale, we’re preparing for the introduction of WA’s new Privacy and Responsible Information Sharing Act 2024, and we’re looking for a motivated Privacy Officer to lead the way. You’ll be helping us create the systems, culture, and capability that ensure we manage personal information with care, transparency, and integrity.
About the role
As the City’s Privacy Officer, you’ll develop and implement our Privacy Management Framework – the foundation for how we manage information across all directorates. You’ll:
- Lead our organisation-wide readiness for the new privacy legislation.
- Develop policy, procedures, and practical tools to guide good information handling.
- Provide specialist advice to leaders and teams on privacy and information‑sharing matters.
- Coordinate privacy incidents, complaints, and investigations with fairness and care.
- Build awareness through training and communication so privacy becomes part of our culture.
Your work will help the City balance responsible data use with the community’s right to trust that their information is safe. You’re someone who:
- Has a genuine interest in how information and ethics intersect.
- Brings strong knowledge of privacy, governance, or information‑management frameworks.
- Is skilled at translating complex legislation into clear, actionable advice.
- Can engage confidently with staff at all levels and build strong working relationships.
- Works independently with initiative and integrity, while collaborating closely with others.
A background in law,
governance, or information management will serve you well – particularly if you’ve implemented or advised on privacy or data‑sharing frameworks within the public sector.
