Summary:
The Australian Privacy Legislation Amendment (Enforcement and Other Measures) Act 2022 aims to strengthen data protection in the country. The Act applies to personal data, covering both domestic and international organizations that collect data from Australian residents. Key compliance steps include:
Conducting a risk assessment to identify data flows and assess risks
Developing a data governance policy and communicating it internally and externally
Implementing privacy by design principles
Creating a data breach response plan
Maintaining detailed records of data processing and breaches
Performing regular compliance audits
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) will enforce the Act, and non-compliance may result in penalties. Compliance is not only a legal requirement but also an ethical obligation for businesses to build trust with customers.
