Following reforms to the Privacy Act in 2024, a new privacy policy transparency obligation for automated decision-making (ADM) will commence on 10 December 2026.
This transparency obligation requires entities regulated under the Privacy Act to provide information in their privacy policies about the kinds of personal information used and decisions made using ADM, where the use of ADM has the potential to significantly affect individuals’ rights or interests.
The team from Hamilton Locke have written a clear and practical breakdown of the new ADM. With OAIC guidance not expected until September 2026, organisations shouldn’t wait to start their compliance review. The article sets out a practical roadmap for where to begin, and is valuable reading ahead of the December implementation.
We’d like to thank the Hamilton Locke team for making this breakdown available to us. You can read their full insights here.
