Privacy Act Review report
March 01, 2023
The Attorney General’s Department released its Privacy Act Review report on 16 February 2023, that includes the broad suite of reforms you would expect to bring Australia’s privacy laws in to line with both international standards and the reality of our data-based economy. These include enhanced data subject rights and increased accountability requirements for organisations collecting and processing Australians’ personal information, as well as the introduction of a right of direct action for individuals and a new tort of serious invasion of privacy.
