Australian privacy law – awareness
Your personal privacy is important. It helps you attain autonomy and maintain individuality. However, there are concerns about gathering, storing, using and sharing personal information.
Globally, privacy laws are changing. Legislators are trying to find a balance between personal privacy, security and overall societal benefit. Of course, Australian privacy is no exception.
This awareness course addresses three privacy topics.
1. Federal & state legislation – outlines federal and state privacy laws
We’ll also explore the notifiable data breaches scheme
2. Your privacy – approaches Australian privacy legislation from your personal viewpoint
How to make a privacy complaint
What to do if you get a data breach notification

Important as privacy is, it can be dry. To break it up, I’ve included some privacy tales. These are simple, cartoon-like stories, inspired by real Australian privacy complaints.
Each topic has several online quizzes and a bibliography.
Workbooks help you reflect on privacy-related questions. Indicative solutions are provided after the final lecture.
