Automated Decision-Making in Australia: Preparing for the 10 December Transparency Obligations

As organisations increasingly rely on AI, algorithms, and automated processes to support decision-making, transparency is becoming a core regulatory expectation. From 10 December 2026, Australian Privacy Principle (APP) entities will face new obligations to disclose how automated decision-making (ADM) systems use personal information and influence decisions that may significantly affect individuals.

Join OneTrust to examine what these new requirements mean for privacy, AI governance, legal, and risk teams. We'll break down the scope of the ADM transparency obligation, identify which systems may be in scope, and explore practical steps organisations can take today to strengthen accountability and readiness.

Learn how to identify automated decision-making use cases across the business, document AI systems and data flows, and build the governance processes required to support compliant privacy disclosures and responsible AI practices.

Key takeaways:

• Understanding the new ADM transparency requirements taking effect on 10 December 2026
• Determining which AI and automated processes may trigger disclosure obligations
• What organisations must include in privacy policies under the new requirements
• Mapping personal information used by AI and automated systems
• Building an AI governance framework that supports transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance
