Abstract
Recent reforms to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cwlth)1 have
led to a single set of Australian Privacy Principles
(APPs), replacing the former National Privacy
Principles (NPPs) and Information Privacy Principles
(IPPs). Although a key objective of the reforms was to
ensure greater consistency on privacy regulation in
Australia,2 the law surrounding disclosure of genetic
information to at-risk genetic relatives varies across
Australia.
