Privacy Awareness Week 2025

The OAIC reports that people are losing trust in organisations that protect their data, and 70% of Australians now view the protection of personal information as a significant concern. As a result, the issue of privacy has become increasingly important for all Australians.

Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is led by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in partnership with state and territory privacy regulators and the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities members.

With our members working under Australia's only industry-registered Privacy Code,  ADIA is a proud and long-time supporter of PAW. It's one of the many ways ADIA represents our members' commitment to upholding good privacy practices and advancing the privacy rights of individuals.

Good privacy practices make good business sense. To acknowledge and commemorate Privacy Awareness Week 2025 and to further support our members, ADIA is offering its full suite of member-exclusive privacy and data security training modules below, free of charge, for this week only:

Is my data safe with Chat GPT? 

ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools have revolutionised our work processes, but with immense power comes significant responsibility.

Is my data safe with ChatGPT or other AI tools? Our most recent free Academy 5-Minute training module examines the privacy and data security concerns associated with using AI in the workplace. This session offers practical advice on developing safe AI usage policies, what your team should never enter into open AI tools, and why human error is frequently the biggest risk.
