The changes introduce a new set of harmonised privacy principles that all privacy policies of individual business and other relevant entities must comply with. The principles outline matters such as:

  • access to privacy policies
  • how an individual can access their personal information stored by an entity
  • what types of information are collected and held by the entity
  • why information is collected by the entity
  • how complaints in relation to privacy matters are to be resolved
  • disclosure matters

The Office of the Australian Information has produced several fact sheets in relation to the recent changes. These can be accessed on their website.
