Power up your privacy: Taking reasonable steps to protect personal information | Australian Government seminar series

During this year's Privacy Awareness Week, we are being asked to ‘power up our privacy’ as the OAIC adopts an overarching theme of ‘Privacy and technology: Improving transparency, accountability and security’. With the recent commencement of the new Privacy Commissioner, it is timely to update on recent developments in privacy law, the focus on major commissioner-initiated investigations and recent enforcement action. In this seminar, Canberra partner Elizabeth Carroll will consider both legislative reform and case law, and assess the requirement to take reasonable steps to protect personal information.
