Workplace Camera Surveillance Notification

Workplace Camera Surveillance Notification

Covert and overt surveillance

The template document only deals with overt workplace surveillance by camera.

The NSW Act and the ACT Acts regulates both covert and overt workplace surveillance where that surveillance is performed with cameras. An employer may only implement covert surveillance in the workplace with the permission of a relevant Court, and an application to the Court must be made before the covert surveillance takes place. It is illegal to undertake covert surveillance without Court permission. Professional advice should be obtained with respect to intended covert surveillance.
