The VLSB+C regulates the legal profession. The Victorian Legal Services Board and Victorian Legal Services Commissioner are separate entities but under the Legal Profession Uniform Law Application Act 2014 and the Legal Profession Uniform Law they function together as the regulators of the legal profession and are allowed to share information to perform their functions. For the purposes of this policy the Board and Commissioner will be referred to together as the VLSB+C, even though certain functions discussed in this policy may be specific functions of the Board or the Commissioner only.

This policy sets the framework for information privacy and outlines the structures for managing information privacy within the VLSB+C, particularly the handling of personal information.
