Are small businesses covered by Australia's Privacy Act?

Many are not. The Privacy Act generally applies to organisations with at least 3 million Australian dollars in annual turnover, plus certain others, so a number of small businesses are currently exempt.

What are the maximum penalties in Australia?

After reforms following major breaches, penalties for serious or repeated breaches rose to up to 50 million Australian dollars or 30 percent of adjusted turnover, whichever is higher.

Persetujuan dan undang-undang privasi di Australia

Australia's Privacy Act 1988 is built around 13 Australian Privacy Principles and enforced by the OAIC. It applies to organisations with at least 3 million Australian dollars in turnover plus certain others, so many small businesses are exempt, a notable difference from the GDPR. Consent is required mainly for sensitive information, while much processing relies on notice and reasonable expectation. After major breaches, penalties were sharply increased to up to 50 million Australian dollars or 30 percent of adjusted turnover. A multi-stage reform is underway to modernise the law, including a fair and reasonable test and stronger individual rights. Cookies that identify users are personal information.
