Maintain awareness of your obligations to ensure compliance.

Privacy is a serious consideration for all Australian businesses. For Australian corporate entities, compliance with the Privacy Act is mandatory. There are significant penalties for breaches of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) also has the power to obtain enforceable undertakings (such as apologies, engage in privacy training and other redress), injunctions and to undertake investigations of companies.

The training program covers:

• Understanding the need for privacy compliance
• What is personal information, sensitive information and consent
• Collecting, using and disclosing personal information
• Data breaches
• Quality, security and access to personal information
