The Australia Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) was enacted to protect the privacy of data subjects and regulate how Australian agencies and organizations with an annual turnover of more than $3 million handle their customers’ personal information.
The Australia Privacy Act also includes 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which apply to private sector organizations, as well as most Australian Government agencies. Organizations that are required to abide by these principles are collectively referred to as ‘APP entities.’ The Australia Privacy Act also regulates the privacy component of the consumer credit reporting system, tax file numbers, and health and medical research.APP entities are required to manage personal information openly and transparently and take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to implement practices, procedures and systems relating to the entity's functions or activities' that will ensure compliance with the APPs.
