Navigating the Australian data privacy landscape can be a daunting task. Privacy regulations, such as the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme, impose strict requirements on how organisations handle personal information. Many businesses struggle to keep up with these ever-evolving privacy regulations and lack the in-house skills and knowledge to build effective data privacy or governance frameworks. That’s where I come in.

Richard Harris,
Masters, Marketing Management

Throughout my career I have focused on the use and protection of Personal Identify information, working with organisations such as Veda (now Equifax), Acxiom and the Association for Data-Driven Marketing & Advertising, advising clients on how to use and protect data.

With over 25 years of experience working the personal information, I have in-depth knowledge of Australian data privacy laws and global best practices. I understand the unique challenges businesses face in Australia and solutions accordingly.

With my guidance, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are meeting all relevant data privacy regulations, reducing the risk of costly breaches and fines.

Our training programs empower your staff with the skills and confidence to handle personal data responsibly, promoting a culture of data privacy within your organization.

If your organisation is grappling with data privacy challenges and lacks the in-house expertise to address them effectively, Data Design Consulting is here to help. Let me be your trusted partner on the journey to data privacy compliance and excellence.
