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.

Privacy Act

The Privacy Act regulates 'information privacy'. To find out what we mean by information privacy see What is privacy? The Privacy Act covers a number of different activities and sectors.

This section covers in detail the key sections of the Privacy Act, to whom they apply and what they require.

Alternatively, simply access the Privacy Act itself: the most up-to-date compilation of the Privacy Act is available on Comlaw.
