Australian Privacy Act

Also known as: Privacy Act 1988, APP, Australian Privacy Principles, NDB scheme

Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles — OAIC (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner)

The Australian data protection regime, built on thirteen Australian Privacy Principles and a notifiable data breach scheme. Reformed in stages since 2024, with a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy and higher penalties, which makes its subordinate instruments worth watching separately from the Act.
