Privacy Regulation

Privacy Act 1988

The Commonwealth Government has enacted privacy legislation to protect information held by all credit providers (not just banks) about their customers' personal credit dealings. Since 1991, under Part IJIA of the Privacy Act, credit providers have only been allowed to disclose information about personal credit dealings to certain classes of persons (such as another bank or a credit union) for certain very limited purposes.

Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000

In December 2000, the Commonwealth Government enacted further privacy legislation, which commenced 21 December 2001, amending the Privacy Act (implementing the National Privacy Principles) to include provisions that regulate the way private sector organisations collect, use, disclose, keep secure and provide access to personal information.

We protect your personal information in accordance with the National Privacy Principles.
