The Digital ID Act 2024 and the Digital ID (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Act 2024 will commence by 1 December 2024. Legislation will enable the Commonwealth to partner with states, territories and the private sector to create a better Digital ID experience for all Australians. Legislation will: - strengthen the existing voluntary Digital ID Accreditation Scheme  provide legislative authority for the Australian Government's Digital ID System to expand - strengthen privacy and consumer protections - strengthen governance for Digital ID Data Protection Services #DigitalTrust #DigitalGovernance

The government plans to release the proposed administrative rules under the Digital Personal Data Protection (#DPDP) Act for public consultation before the start of the upcoming Parliament session in July, to give ample time to stakeholders to deliberate, a senior government official said. Once the draft rules are released for public consultation, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is likely to give up to 45 days for stakeholders to submit their views, the official said. “It is one of the first priorities. Since the (DPDP) Act was passed in August last year, we aim to ensure that the rules are notified within a year of that. All stakeholders will be consulted,” the official said. #dappact #dpdpa #dataprivacy #datasecurity

According to news reports, the government has completed the draft rules for the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023 and plans to release them for public consultation in mid to late August. The final rules are expected to be notified after the current parliamentary session ends. According to officials, these rules will adhere to the framework established by Parliament, ensuring robust privacy protection while preventing frivolous complaints. One unresolved issue is the verification of age and parental consent. The government has engaged with experts and industry stakeholders, who have provided various solutions. The IT ministry held extensive consultations on July 19 with representatives from social media and internet companies to discuss potential solutions for age-gating and parental consent. Under the DPDP Act 2023, all users below the age of 18 are considered children and must obtain verifiable parental consent to use social media and other services provided by internet intermediaries. This provision is designed to protect the privacy and safety of minors online.
