Privacy Awareness Week 2025 – sign up now!

This year’s Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) campaign made a call to ‘power up’ on privacy. We are focussed on three key principles: transparency, accountability and security. 

Our PAW website provides a range of practical advice for individuals, businesses and government agencies on protecting privacy. You can get involved by signing up your organisation and coming along to PAW events. Find out more below - and sign up now for PAW 2025.
 

PAW Resources

The best way to access the full range of Privacy Awareness Week resources is to sign up your organisation as a supporter and receive our full toolkit. Supporter organisations also have the option to be listed here on the PAW website.

Otherwise, you can still show your PAW pride by using some of the Privacy Awareness Week resources available at the links.

Sign up your organisation

Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is an annual event to promote and raise awareness of the importance of protecting personal information. It 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.

Signing your organisation up as a PAW supporter is a non-financial commitment to promoting good privacy practices and advancing the privacy rights of individuals. Inclusion on the PAW website is optional.

Thank you to all the organisations and agencies that signed up for PAW 2024. To sign up for PAW 2025, use the link below.
