Home Resources The Government's Response to the Privacy Act Report Oct 2023 Compliance The Government's Response to the Privacy Act Report Oct 2023 ADMA has consistently advocated for the need to modernise Australia’s privacy laws to better reflect the landscape in which it operates - one that is more technologically advanced and global than it was at the time of the Privacy Act's initial drafting.
