Privacy – Australia

Product Description

This privacy compliance training course trains staff on businesses’ obligations under the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)

Dealing with personal information

Privacy breaches make headlines all the time. But while everyone thinks they know what privacy is, understanding how the laws apply to our work, clients and customers is another matter.

Salt Compliance Privacy training course breaks down the privacy requirements into language that learners can understand, supported by a rich visual design.

The introductory module summarises the key concepts surrounding how we handle personal information at work. Subsequent modules explore the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in more detail. The final module focuses on credit reporting obligations.

Scenarios and case studies appear throughout the modules, helping to place the training into vivid practical context.

The privacy training course contains a fresh look and feel that is intended to attract learners active engagement throughout the training, without overwhelming or distracting them from the concepts.

Keeping up to date

We keep our training up to date so that you don’t have to worry about your compliance with the latest developments.

In December 2022 the Australian Government, in response to the Optus data breach and others, passed the Privacy Legislation Amendment (Enforcement and Other Measures) Act 2022, which introduced major financial penalties for both individuals and organisations in relation to privacy breaches. Some penalties are now 20 times as large as they were before – or more.

The expanded law also significantly increased the Australian Information Commissioners powers.

Our training reflects this legislation.
