“Australian Consumers vulnerable to data breaches, invasive tracking, and online manipulation”
-Federal Government response to the Privacy Act Review Report
On 28 September 2023, the Australian Government released its response to the Privacy Act Review Report.
We released the Privacy Act Review Report in February 2023. Following this, we undertook public consultation to inform the government response. The review originated out of recommendations from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s 2019 Digital platforms inquiry – final report.

In its response to the review, the government commits to progressing work to enhance the privacy protections provided to individuals and ensure Australian businesses have clarity about what information is covered by the Privacy Act and how to best protect this information. We will continue to engage with stakeholders on the development of draft legislation.
