The Community Attitudes to Privacy survey is a research project that is run periodically by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Run most recently in 2013 and 2007, the survey allows the OAIC to gauge privacy trends and developments, changes in community attitudes and to inform regulation, strategy and education work.
The 2017 Australian Community Attitudes to Privacy Survey (ACAPS) report was released 15 May.
For the first time, the survey was conducted using a multi-mode methodology, resulting in a greater number of responses. The findings provide insight into how the Australian community’s privacy expectations, and responses to privacy risks, have developed alongside an increasingly digital environment.
