Official Exposure Draft of the Children’s Online Privacy Code

The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 introduced a mandate for the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) to develop a Children’s Online Privacy Code.

The OAIC is inviting industry, civil society, academia and any other interested parties to respond to:

• Exposure Draft of Children’s Online Privacy Code, and
• Explanatory Statement

The Explanatory Statement is a supporting document designed to assist stakeholders in understanding the intended objectives, detailed operation, and effect of the draft Code.

Stakeholders are encouraged to read both the Exposure Draft and the Explanatory Statement.
