Which New South Wales Act governs how state government agencies collect and handle personal information?
The Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW) — the PPIP Act — sets out the Information Protection Principles governing how NSW public sector agencies collect, store, use, and disclose personal information. It is administered by the Information and Privacy Commission NSW and published on the official NSW legislation website.

Why Lawstronaut for New South Wales legal research
New South Wales legal information is spread across the NSW legislation website, the Government Gazette, the Parliament, state courts and tribunals, and sector regulators. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About New South Wales legal coverage
New South Wales is a common-law jurisdiction within Australia's federal system, applying Australian common law alongside statute enacted by the Parliament of New South Wales. Primary legislation — Acts and statutory regulations — is published on the official NSW legislation website (legislation.nsw.gov.au), maintained by the Parliamentary Counsel's Office, and notified in the NSW Government Gazette. The court hierarchy runs from the Local Court and District Court up to the Supreme Court of New South Wales, whose Court of Appeal and Court of Criminal Appeal are its appellate divisions; specialist bodies include the Land and Environment Court and the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT). Regulatory policy sits with agencies such as NSW Fair Trading, IPART, SafeWork NSW, the Environment Protection Authority, and the Information and Privacy Commission. Legislation and decisions are published in English.
New South Wales law changes constantly: reforms such as the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, ongoing amendments to the Crimes Act 1900 and the Conveyancing Act 1919, and continual updates to planning and environmental regulation mean citations to a superseded reprint can be wrong. Point-in-time versions straight from the official source — the NSW legislation website already publishes historical 'as-in-force' versions — are what keep a New South Wales legal research answer correct today.
