"Privacy Act 1988 s 26WL eligible-data-breach notification duty"
Privacy Act s 26WL requires an entity that has prepared a compliant s 26WK statement for an eligible data breach to notify affected or at-risk individuals where practicable, or otherwise publish and publicise the statement, as soon as practicable.
This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within CTH as enacted by Federal Register of Legislation.

Answer

Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) s 26WL applies where an entity is aware there are reasonable grounds to believe there has been an eligible data breach and has prepared a statement complying with s 26WK(3). The entity must notify the statement contents to each individual to whom the relevant information relates if practicable; if not, notify each individual at risk if practicable; and if neither route is practicable, publish the statement on its website if any and take reasonable steps to publicise it. The entity must do this as soon as practicable after completing the statement. Official source checked: Federal Register of Legislation, Privacy Act 1988 current text, s 26WL. Dogfood note: Source search for s 26WL did not surface a native Privacy Act s 26WL row and returned unrelated CTH material plus prior proposed topics.
