AFIA lodged our submission to the Attorney-General’s Department on their consultation regarding the Privacy Act Review.

Topics discussed include:

1. the objects of the Act;

2. the definition of ‘personal information’ under the Act;

3. proposed individual rights contained in Chapter 18 of the report;

4. a statutory right of action for interferences with privacy.
