The legislation will beef up the powers of the Australian Information Commissioner to resolve privacy breaches and bolster information sharing with the Australian Communications and Media Authority. The notifiable data breaches scheme will be boosted to ensure the commissioner has a complete picture of the information compromised, to be able to provide a risk assessment of harm for people.

A review of the privacy act will be completed by the end of this year, with recommendations to be handed down for further reforms.
