In December 2019, the Australian Government announced it would conduct a review of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
A year has almost passed and finally the Australian Government has publicly released details about the review. On 30 October 2020, the Australian Government released the Terms of Reference of the review. In particular, the review will cover:
- The scope and application of the Privacy Act
- Whether the Privacy Act effectively protects personal information and provides a practical and proportionate framework for promoting good privacy practices
