The Office of the Privacy Commissioner marks Privacy Week each year to promote privacy awareness and to inform people of their rights under the Privacy Act. Another aim of Privacy Week is to help educate businesses, organisations and agencies of their responsibilities with personal information.

Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is an initiative started by APPA back in 2006. Since then, it has been held every year to promote and raise awareness for numerous privacy issues and the importance of protecting personal information. As a part of PAW, members hold a variety of different events and undertake various activities for individuals, businesses and government organisations.

This year, Privacy Week 2021 will take place from 10-14 May. The theme is Make privacy a priority.
