Privacy Law Changes – Are You Compliant?
- Details
- 10 October 2014
Australia’s Privacy laws have changed and now impose new and different obligations on entities (individuals, body corporates, partnerships, unincorporated associations, trusts and government agencies) who collect, hold, use and disclose “personal information”, “sensitive information” and/or “credit information” about individuals.
The types of entities that must comply with the Privacy laws include:
- Entities with an annual turnover of greater than $3 million;
- Contracted service providers on Government contracts and/or recipients of Government funding grants;
- All health service providers and entities that hold health information; and
- Suppliers of goods and services on commercial and consumer credit terms
While we at Collins & Co do not provide legal advice, we do have a flyer that provides some basic information and considerations in regard to the changes, prepared for us by M+K Lawyers.
