Is your business prepared for compliance and data protection?

Australian businesses face strict obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Without structured policies and clear responsibilities, organisations risk data breaches, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.

The Essential Data Protection Checklist for Australian Businesses provides a step-by-step guide to embedding compliance and data protection into everyday operations. By following these actionable steps, your business can minimise risk, meet legal obligations, and build trust with customers.

Why you should download this checklist

This checklist is designed for Australian businesses, giving practical guidance without unnecessary legal jargon. With it, you’ll learn how to:

  • Appoint a responsible party for data protection and define staff accountability
  • Review consent procedures and minimise unnecessary data collection
  • Implement encryption, multi-factor authentication, and physical security
  • Align policies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
  • Develop breach response plans and comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme
  • Train staff and reinforce ongoing compliance practices
  • Conduct audits and continuously improve your data protection measures

The full checklist provides detailed steps for each area, but you’ll only get the complete guidance by downloading it.
