In accordance with paragraph 24.3 of the CR Code, the Commissioner is required to conduct an independent review of the operation of the CR Code every 4 years. The last review was conducted in 2017.

Purpose of consultation

The OAIC is seeking comments from interested stakeholders in relation to the practical operation of the CR Code.

Consultation materials

To assist stakeholders in preparing comments for this consultation, the OAIC has published the Consultation Paper, which includes questions. These are intended to stimulate comments and reflections on the current operation of the CR Code.

They are not intended to limit the issues that may be raised. You may wish to respond to some or all questions, or to raise other issues related to the practical operation of the CR Code.

To further facilitate engagement in the OAIC consultation process, roundtables will also be conducted in late January 2022.
