This conference will consider a wide range of current and emerging issues in Australian privacy law, provide commentary on the law reform agenda, and discuss recent European developments in data protection and privacy law

Australian and international privacy experts will address the following themes:

  • Australian privacy law reform
  • Privacy and Data Protection in Europe
  • Common law protection of privacy
  • Privacy and criminal justice
  • Privacy and the Internet
  • Theoretical and rights-based approaches to privacy
  • Privacy and Media Freedom
