Answer

sec:answer-e9ae9bb8

Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) s 26WK applies when an entity is aware there are reasonable grounds to believe there has been an eligible data breach of the entity. The entity must, as soon as practicable after becoming aware, prepare a statement and give a copy to the Commissioner. The statement must set out the entity identity and contact details, describe the eligible data breach, identify the kind or kinds of information concerned, and recommend steps individuals should take in response. Official source checked: Federal Register of Legislation, Privacy Act 1988 current text, s 26WK. Dogfood note: Source search for s 26WK did not surface a native Privacy Act s 26WK row and returned unrelated CTH material plus prior proposed topics.
