Data custodians
Who are the data custodians
Data custodians (sometimes referred to as data source agencies or data owners) are the agencies responsible for collecting, using and disclosing information in a dataset. These agencies collect data about individuals under their respective legislation.
Data custodians may grant access to information they maintain; however, they have an obligation to protect the people the information relates to from unjustified intrusion on their privacy.
FOD data custodians
All state and territory RBDMs make up the collective data custodians, because each contributes data.
COD URF data custodians
Each jurisdictional state/chief coroner, as represented by the National Coronial Information System (NCIS), and all state and territory RBDMs make up the collective data custodians, because each contributes data.
