Major data breaches are profoundly affecting businesses and individuals. The spirit and intent of the mandatory Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB)  Scheme is to assess the data breach quickly, and to notify individuals and the regulator in appropriate cases, so they may take steps to prevent or reduce harm. 

This self-paced course, consisting of 11 chapters, supports you to safeguard your own practice and advise clients affected by data breaches, both as individuals and as business managers. 

 It will give you the knowledge to understand:

• The key provisions of the NDB Scheme in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
• When an ‘eligible data breach’ has occurred.
• How to notify the privacy regulator and individuals.
• How to apply the law to common scenarios.

Data breach essentials: Assessment and notification under the Privacy Act features the expertise of Cate Cloudsdale, a data privacy lawyer who has previously held roles at the privacy regulator, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
