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.

Notifying our office of possible breaches

In the event that a data breach occurs in your agency, depending on the severity of the breach, it can be a good idea to inform our office.

The OAIC updated its detailed guidance about Data Breach Noticiation in April 2012. See: Data breach notification; A guide to handling personal information security breaches
