Australian Privacy Act 1988 • All 13 APPs • NDB Scheme

Australian privacy law keeps changing. Most policies don't keep up. Yours will.

Australian privacy law has changed multiple times since 2024 — and most businesses are still running outdated policies that miss critical requirements.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.

Australian privacy compliance is more complex than most businesses realise

The rules have changed multiple times since 2024. Here's what you need to know.

⚠️
$50MDec 2024

Penalties Increased 2,250%

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.

2025Now in Force

Individuals Can Now Sue You Directly

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.

📅
Dec 2026

More Changes Already Legislated

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.

ComplianceKit covers all of this — including the NDB scheme most policies still miss — and keeps your policy current as the law evolves.

Built for Australian law.
Maintained as it changes.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need an Australian-specific privacy policy?

Australian privacy law has unique requirements that US-based generators don't cover. You need a policy that includes all 13 Australian Privacy Principles and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

How long does it take to generate a policy?

Most customers complete the questionnaire and download their policy in about 5-10 minutes.

What formats are included?

Every policy includes PDF, Word (DOCX), HTML, and plain text (TXT) formats. Download all formats with your purchase.

What's included in the $79 price?

A complete Australian privacy policy covering all 13 APPs, the NDB scheme, 4 file formats, and lifetime dashboard access. One-time payment, own it forever.

What is Managed Compliance and do I need it?

Managed Compliance ($29/year) is optional. It provides automatic updates when Australian privacy law changes, hosted policy URL, and email notifications. Perfect for "set it and forget it" compliance.

Can I upgrade to Managed Compliance later?

Yes! You can add Managed Compliance anytime from your dashboard.

Do you offer discounts for multiple policies?

Each policy is $79. However, the Trans-Tasman Bundle ($149) covers both countries and saves you $9 compared to buying separately.

What happens if Australian privacy law changes?

With Managed Compliance, we automatically update your policy when laws change and notify you via email. Without Managed Compliance, you'll need to manually update the downloaded files yourself using the new legal requirements.

What if my business details change (new address, services, etc.)?

You can regenerate your policy anytime for free with updated business information. With Managed Compliance, it's one-click regeneration.
