Threshold compliance checklist — GDPR and the Privacy Act

Introductory note:
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regime of personal data protection requirements adopted by the European Parliament which regulates “personal data”. While GDPR is EU law, it has unprecedented extra-territorial reach. If the GDPR applies to your organisation, you must ensure that your organisation complies with both the GDPR and the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act).
 
How to use this checklist:
This checklist will guide you through the key threshold considerations for your organisations to ensure compliance with both the GDPR and the Privacy Act.
