The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) welcomes the final report of the Attorney-General’s Department’s (AGD) review of the Privacy Act 1988 and encourages interested parties to have their say about privacy reform in Australia through the AGD’s feedback process.
“This is an important milestone as we move towards further reform of Australia’s privacy framework,” Australian Information Commissioner and Privacy Commissioner Angelene Falk said.
“This shifts the burden from individuals, who are currently required to safeguard their privacy by navigating complex privacy policies and consent requirements, and places more responsibility on the organisations who collect and use personal information to ensure that their practices are fair and reasonable in the first place.”
Commissioner Falk noted that the report contains proposals that would enhance the powers of the OAIC as the privacy regulator, to enforce privacy obligations and to identify systemic privacy issues and address privacy breaches.
“It also contains other important proposals, such as enabling individuals to exercise new privacy rights and take direct action in the courts if their privacy is breached, and the removal of some exemptions from the Privacy Act.
