Home Resources The Government's Response to the Privacy Act Report Oct 2023 Compliance The Government's Response to the Privacy Act Report Oct 2023 ADMA has consistently advocated for the need to modernise Australia’s privacy laws to better reflect the landscape in which it operates - one that is more technologically advanced and global than it was at the time of the Privacy Act's initial drafting. The changes are needed, but so is an approach that ensures that the laws remain effective in the future. Late September marked a major step forward in the process with the Attorney General releasing its response to the 116 proposal that were outlined in the Privacy Act Review Report. Here is an overview designed to bring Australian marketers up-to-speed, inform the industry on ADMA’s involvement through the process, and give you valuable information on what you need to know and how to get involved in the steps to come.
