- In force. POLA Act 2024 assented 10 Dec 2024; most changes from 11 Dec 2024; statutory privacy tort from 10 Jun 2025; automated-decision disclosure from 10 Dec 2026; Children's Online Privacy Code due by 10 Dec 2026. Further 'tranche 2' reforms not yet introduced.
- على من ينطبق
- Australian Government agencies and private organisations with over A$3m annual turnover (plus listed exceptions). Overseas organisations are covered if they have an 'Australian link', e.g. carrying on business in Australia, even without a physical presence.
- حدود الحجم
- Small business exemption: A$3m or less turnover is exempt, unless it is a health provider, trades in personal data, is a Commonwealth contractor, a credit reporting body, or covered by AML/CTF, among others. Firms over A$3m in any year since 2002 stay covered.✓
- الجهة الرقابية
- Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)✓
- الإبلاغ عن الخروقات أو الحوادث
- Notifiable Data Breaches scheme: assess a suspected breach within 30 days; if serious harm is likely, notify the OAIC and affected individuals (or publish a statement if direct notice is impractical).✓
- مهلة الرد على طلبات البيانات الشخصية

- مسؤول حماية البيانات
- No legal requirement for a DPO for private organisations; the OAIC recommends one as good practice.✓
- الممثل المحلي
- No local representative requirement.✓
- نقل البيانات إلى الخارج
- Before disclosing data overseas, take reasonable steps so the recipient complies with the APPs; you usually stay liable for their acts. Exceptions: similar foreign law, informed consent, legal requirement. Since Dec 2024 the government can whitelist countries; none listed yet.✓
- ملفات تعريف الارتباط والموافقة
- No specific cookie law; the APPs apply when cookies collect personal information. Sensitive information generally needs consent; direct marketing must offer an opt-out.✓
- أقصى عقوبة
- Serious interferences: greater of A$50m, 3x the benefit gained, or 30% of domestic turnover. Lower tier up to A$3.3m; infringement notices for administrative breaches. Individuals can also sue under the statutory tort.✓
