This week we explore the how the Australian privacy regulator is transforming itself in an attempt to have a stronger impact - in the face ongoing funding pressures and a reform agenda that hasn't quite met the expectations of privacy advocates.A year into the tenure of Carly Kind as Australian Privacy Commissioner, we are seeing a more public and vocal regulator, a series of targeted enforcement actions and the issuing of more frequent communications and guidance.It's all part of a self-described transformation by the OAIC into a "more proactive, harms-focused regulator". Links:Our episode with Commissioner Carly Kind https://elevenm.com.au/podcast/episode/107-power-up-your-privacy-with-privacy-commissioner-carly-kind/Oct 2024 Interview with Carly Kind (Mi-3) https://www.mi-3.com.au/09-10-2024/enforcement-mode-privacy-commissioner-carly-kind-takes-aim-widespread-pixel-dataArticle about OAIC staff cuts (InnovationAus) https://www.innovationaus.com/privacy-watchdog-axes-30pc-of-staff/OAIC Corporate Report 2024-25 https://www.oaic.gov.au/about-the-OAIC/our-corporate-information/corporate-plans/corporate-plan-2024-25OAIC restructure report released under FOI https://www.oaic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0030/245559/FOIREQ24-00563-Document-for-release.pdfOAIC settlement with Meta https://www.oaic.gov.au/news/media-centre/landmark-settlement-of-$50m-from-meta-for-australian-users-impacted-by-cambridge-analytica-incidentOAIC enforceable undertaking with Oxfam https://www.oaic.gov.au/news/media-centre/oaic-accepts-oxfam-australia-enforceable-undertaking Credits:Editing and post-production by Martin Franklin (East Coast Studio) www.eastcoaststudio.com.auMusic by Bensound.com
