Privacy Act compliance
Your small business exemption ends July 2026. The Privacy Act now applies to you.
Over 100,000 Australian businesses lose the small business Privacy Act exemption from 1 July 2026. If you collect customer data and turn over under $3M, the Privacy Act now applies to you. Real estate agents, accountants, e-commerce businesses, and service providers all need privacy compliance documentation.
2 minutes. No obligation.
The situation
You have never had to comply with the Privacy Act. From July, you do.
The small business exemption shielded businesses under $3M turnover from the Privacy Act. When you become an AML/CTF reporting entity under Tranche 2, that shield disappears. You need documented privacy policies, breach response plans, and staff training. The OAIC is already conducting compliance sweeps.
Same deadline as AML/CTF
If you are preparing for AML/CTF Tranche 2, you need Privacy Act compliance too. Both obligations start 1 July 2026. We offer bundled pricing for businesses that need both.
