•
Please provide under the Official Information Act 1982, the salary range
for a Privacy Assessor in OT.

Can you please provide the range lowest to highest in spreadsheet format
and the count of employees receiving it.
Please note that we have interpreted ‘Privacy Assessor’ as asking for the salary

$57,361.00. Please note that this average is based on the employees’ FTE salary
(Full Time Equivalent as opposed to Actual Salary).

spreadsheet form as you requested, as it could breach the privacy of the
individual CIR Assessors, who would be able to self-identify themselves. We are
withholding these details under section 9(2)(a) of the Act in order to protect the
privacy of natural persons. The need to protect the privacy of these individuals
outweighs any public interest in this information.
