Australian businesses/NFP's are bound by the Privacy Act if they:
➲ “Opt-in” or publicly volunteer to be regulated;
➲ Handle Personal Information (defined below) + have $3 million or more in annual turnover; or
➲ Are captured by the second set of criteria set out in the Act.
Caution: The additional “second set” of criteria mean that every business or charity regardless of turnover may be caught if they sell or purchase Personal Information or handle specific categories of Personal Information, such as TFN (Tax File Numbers, Health + Medical Data, etc.)
Small business/NFP operators generally are exempt from the Privacy Act unless one of the above-mentioned points apply.

This FAQ was extracted from the blog article "Privacy Policies & Australian Law" by James D. Ford GAICD | Principal Solicitor, Blue Ocean Law Group℠ which was originally published in late 2018 + is hosted on iubenda's website.

“How to make your website/app easily compliant with Australian Law?”
Important Notice:
This FAQ is intended for general interest + information only.
It is not legal advice, nor should it be relied upon or used as such.
We recommend you always consult a lawyer for legal advice specifically tailored to your needs & circumstances.
Firstly, your law(s) of reference determine which rules you’re subject to.
Simply put, the laws of a particular region [for example, the EU GDPR] can apply to you in addition to local Australian law even if you don’t live, or run your business or charity (also known as a not-for-profit or NFP) there.
In general, the laws of a particular region can apply if your business or NFP:
➲ Base your operations there; or
➲ Use processing services or servers based in the region; or
➲ Service targets users from that region (example: accepting payment in Euros).
So to be clear, this basically means that regional regulations may apply to you and/or your business or charity whether you’re located in the region or not.
For that reason, it’s always advisable that you approach your data processing activities with the strictest applicable regulations in mind.
You can read more about which privacy laws apply to you here.
Another point in favour of having a comprehensive privacy policy in place is that it’s simply good business to have a Privacy Policy.
Regardless of whether legal obligations apply, all customers/clients today fully expect their personal data will be respected + protected.
Any breach, aside from potentially leading to legal consequences, will directly impact your business reputation, and ultimately could cause your business or charity to shut-down due to public loss of confidence.
