Privacy Act 1988

The Privacy Act 1988 is a law in Australia that protects your private information. It means that organisations and businesses need to get your permission before they can collect, use, or give away your personal information. They must also keep your information safe and secure, and let you know what they are using it for. Personal information includes things like your name, address, phone number and bank details. With the Privacy Act in place, you know your information is safe and that you have control over it.
