Privacy legislation:
The Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) is an Australian law which regulates the handling of
personal information about individuals.
Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an
individual who is reasonably identifiable.
The Privacy Act includes thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). The APPs set out
standards, rights and obligations for the handling, holding, use, accessing and correction
of personal information (including sensitive information).
Federal Privacy Act:
The principal piece of federal legislation regulating privacy in Australia is the Privacy
Act. The Privacy Act regulates the handling of personal information by the Australian
Government, the ACT Government and the private sector. The Act contains a set of 11
Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) that apply to Australian Government and ACT
Government agencies, and 10 National Privacy Principles (NPPs) that apply to the
private sector.
The Privacy Act does not regulate the handling of personal information by the state
governments or the Northern Territory Government, except to a very limited extent.
The Privacy Act is expressed to bind the Crown in right of the Commonwealth, of each
of the States, of the Australian Capital Territory, of the Northern Territory and of Norfolk
Island. State and territory public sector authorities, however, fall outside the definition
of public sector agency, and are specifically excluded from the definition of private
sector organization. State and territory authorities include ministers, departments,
bodies established or appointed for a public purpose under state and territory law, and
state and territory courts. Under s 6F of the Privacy Act, however, states and territories
may request that state and territory authorities be brought into the regime by regulations
made under the Act.
