Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is the primary privacy awareness campaign of the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA) Forum and is held every year at the start of May.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) is hosting a meeting of the Association of Information Access Commissioners (AIAC) on the 28^th November at their office in Sydney.

The 40th Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA) Forum is taking place on 26 and 27 November, 2013. Representatives from 11 privacy authorities from around the world, as well as some observers, will gather to discuss local and international privacy issues.

The 2013 results of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner's (OAIC) Community Attitudes to Privacy survey were launched 9October, at an event in Sydney.

The full survey report is available on the Privacy reports page, or via a short URL that has been created: www.oaic.gov.au/community-attitudes.
