Consent under Australia’s Privacy Act must be informed, voluntary, current, specific, and given by someone who understands and can communicate their decision. Consent can be express (clearly stated, such as written or verbal agreement) or implied (reasonably inferred from circumstances).

This essential infographic will help you understand what consent means under Australia's Privacy Act. Discover a quick compliance checklist, identify common mistakes to avoid, and learn about the key tips for enterprises. Learn how Securiti consent automation can help you automate compliance.

Australia’s Privacy Act & Consent: Essential Guide for Enterprise Leaders

Frequently Asked Questions

Under the Act, consent must be current, explicit, informed, voluntary, and provided by an individual who is able to express their choice. Consent may be implicit (fairly inferred from the circumstances) or express (expressed explicitly, as in a written or verbal agreement).

The maximum penalties for individuals (non-corporate entities) are up to $2.5 million. For bodies corporate, it is greater than $50 million; three times the value of any benefit obtained directly or indirectly from the contravention; or 30% of the body corporate's adjusted turnover during the breach turnover period.

The GDPR mandates consent to be explicit, informed, and unambiguous. In contrast, the Australian Privacy Act distinguishes between express consent (clearly given) and implied consent (reasonably inferred).
