The Information Commissioner can address privacy complaints from 1 July 2026. 

Before 1 July 2026, if you are concerned that an IPP entity has interfered with your privacy you should make a complaint directly with the IPP entity. 

After 1 July 2026, a complaint will usually be required to be made to the IPP entity first, before a complaint is made to the Information Commissioner.
