The review of the Australia Privacy Principles code is part of the ADIA’s obligations to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and will look to update and amend the code on a number of subjects, including in relation to the growth of AI.

ADIA said it had commissioned Terry Aulich, former senator in Tasmania, to lead and carry out the review.

Other areas within the scope of the review include children and youth privacy, overseas sharing of personal information, enforcement and the responsibilities of ADIA member privacy officers.

Sarah Campbell, chief executive at the ADIA, said: “Our privacy code review will help strengthen our members’ commitment to keeping Australians’ personal information private in growing data-centric environments.

“The successful operation of the code relies significantly on a comprehensive and continuing proactive programme of privacy advice and culture, compliance checks and training provided by ADIA to its members to reinforce the code’s effectiveness.”
