Amendments to the Privacy Act commenced on 30 November 2024. No date proclaimed for commencement of Schedule 2, the statutory tort, so it will commence on 29 May 2025

Most of the amendments to the Privacy Act 1988 through the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 commenced on 30 November 2024. There has been no date proclaimed for Schedule 2 as yet. In the normal course it would be very surprising if the Government was to, at some stage in the future, actually specify a commencement date if it did not do so immediately.
