Australian privacy law has changed multiple times since 2024 — and most businesses are still running outdated policies that miss critical requirements. ComplianceKit generates a fully compliant policy and keeps it current automatically.
The rules have changed multiple times since 2024. Here's what you need to know.
The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 raised maximum penalties from $2.2 million to $50 million. The OAIC can now issue on-the-spot fines without going to court — and has been actively doing so throughout 2025.
Since June 2025, individuals can take businesses to court for serious privacy violations — without needing to prove financial damage first. This opens the door to privacy class actions. Several cases are already proceeding through the courts.
Automated decision-making disclosures become mandatory in December 2026. The small business exemption is being removed, bringing 2.3 million additional businesses under the Privacy Act. This wave of reform isn't slowing down.
Most privacy policy generators are built for the US market and adapted for international use. That means Australian-specific requirements — the NDB scheme, all 13 Australian Privacy Principles, the June 2025 statutory tort — get missed.
ComplianceKit is built from the Australian Privacy Act 1988. With Managed Compliance, your policy is automatically updated whenever the law changes — so you don't have to monitor legislation yourself.
