The OAIC has published its final guidance on automated decisions. Here is what it says
On 30 September 2026, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner unveiled crucial guidance on automated decision-making, set to take effect on 10 December. This new obligation requires organizations to disclose the decisions made by their software, impacting sectors like disability, aged care, and community services. The guidance clarifies what constitutes a “computer program,” emphasizes the significance of human oversight, and outlines what information can be excluded. With only weeks left to prepare, organizations must act swiftly to ensure compliance. Discover how to navigate these changes and protect your clients’ rights in our detailed analysis.
