Site Changes

On 1 November 2010 the Office of the Privacy Commissioner was integrated into the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). An interim website for the OAIC is available at www.oaic.gov.au. This site (privacy.gov.au), which only contains information related to the OAIC's privacy function, will be maintained until a combined site is established.

Businesses that have opted in to the Privacy Act

Some organisations opt-in or choose to be covered by the Privacy Act, where they would otherwise not be bound by the Act. We can investigate complaints about these organisations. The Privacy Commissioner maintains a Register of organisations which have opted-in.

If you think an organisation that has opted-in has breached the NPPs, you can complain to us. But generally, before you do, you need to write to the organisation and try to resolve the problem directly.
