What is the Australian Privacy Act 1988?

The Australian Privacy Act (1988) plays an important role in safeguarding individuals’ privacy and data security. It applies to all organisations carrying out business in Australia which includes actively collecting and processing personal information in Australia or from Australian residents. The 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) are the cornerstone of the data protection framework in Australia, governing standards, rights and obligations around the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.

Why Should You Care About the Australian Privacy Laws?

Compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 is not just a legal requirement; it’s also essential for building trust with your customers. Fines for non-compliance can be severe, but more importantly, a data breach can damage your reputation and customer loyalty.
