The Privacy Commissioner has issued a new Fact Sheet on Data Quality and an updated Fact Sheet on Access and Correction.

The Fact Sheets explain the relevant National Privacy Principles that apply to private sector businesses.

The private sector provisions of the Privacy Act apply to organisations (including not-for-profits) with an annual turnover of more than $3 million. The provisions also apply to all health service providers regardless of turnover and some small businesses with an annual turnover of $3 million or less.
