The Privacy Foundation’s Board-members have been very active recently on multiple fronts, particularly the Personally-Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR), the Cybercrime amendments, and the proposal for a privacy right of action. You can follow the submissions on the Policy pages, at https://www.privacy.org.au/Papers/.

The APF encourages contributions from its members to the organisation’s operations.

One avenue that’s available is SubCommittees that work on particular areas of privacy policy. See https://www.privacy.org.au/About/Contacts.html#SC.

Right now, we’re specifically requesting your assistance in reviewing and helping us improve the following five resources. We publish these documents in order to directly assist members of the public:
