Privacy Law Bulletin

The laws which govern privacy in Australia are constantly taking shape. These laws extend to a huge number of recordkeeping, and in areas such as employment, banking and finance, government administration, telecommunications, cybersecurity, health care, marketing, and the media. Data and personal information have become an increasingly prioritised and valuable currency in the global digital economy. The associated security and privacy protection concerns continue to present a complex compliance and governance challenge. The Privacy Law Bulletin features articles on topical local and international privacy issues, drawing upon the expertise and experience of the editorial panel, whose members comprise experts in the field. The Bulletin reports on changes to legislation, guidelines and industry codes affecting privacy and analysis on privacy litigation, the administrative complaints processes and cases which continue to shape Australia's privacy framework. Each article aims to update readers with current legal issues impacting on privacy law and provide insights on practical implications of latest legal developments.
