Privacy compliance for Australian businesses
Your complete privacy compliance program — without the six‑figure consultancy bill
Australian privacy laws are changing. Penalties are increasing. And most businesses have no idea where they stand. Better Privacy is a guided compliance platform that takes you from zero to a defensible privacy program — step by step, on your terms.
$50M
Maximum penalty per contravention under the reformed Privacy Act. Up from $2.2M.
13 APPs
Australian Privacy Principles. Soon every Australian business will need to comply, regardless of turnover.
30 days
To assess and notify a data breach under the NDB scheme. No program means no process when the clock starts.
How It Works
We don't just hand you documents — we show you what to do with them
Most compliance tools generate paperwork and leave you to figure out the rest. Better Privacy guides you through every step — from understanding your obligations, to implementing the right controls, to putting each document into practice.
Assess your gaps
Answer a structured questionnaire tailored to your business. The platform maps your obligations and shows you exactly where your gaps are — no guesswork.
Implement with guidance
Get the documents you need — privacy policies, breach response plans, collection notices — then follow step-by-step guidance on how to put each one into practice in your business.
Track and improve
Reassess at any time to measure your progress. See what you've implemented, what's outstanding, and where your compliance maturity stands — all in one dashboard.
The Platform
Everything you need to meet your privacy obligations
No jargon, no guesswork — just clear steps, guided by experts.
Obligations Assessment
Answer a structured questionnaire tailored to your business. The platform maps your obligations under the Australian Privacy Principles and identifies exactly where your gaps are.
Policy & Document Generation
Generate the policies, notices, and procedures your business needs — privacy policy, collection notices, data breach response plan, and more — all tailored to your answers.
Controls Library
Access a library of practical, implementable controls mapped to each obligation. Know what to do, not just what the law says.
Progress Tracking
Reassess at any time to measure your progress. See what you've implemented, what's outstanding, and where your compliance position stands — all in one dashboard.
Comply once, cover many
One set of controls. Multiple frameworks covered.
We've done the hard work of mapping controls across frameworks. Implement the controls for the Australian Privacy Principles, and we'll show you where you're already meeting requirements under other standards — so you don't duplicate effort when the next audit comes.
As your business grows, add frameworks and see your existing coverage instantly. No starting from scratch.

FAQ
Common questions
Who is Better Privacy for? +
Any Australian business that needs to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles — and with the small business exemption being removed, that will soon mean every business. We're built for organisations that don't have a dedicated privacy team or the budget for a Big 4 consultancy.
What do you mean by "guided implementation"? +
Most compliance tools generate documents and leave you to figure out the rest. Better Privacy walks you through what each document is for, how to put it into practice in your business, and what controls you need to have in place. You get the paperwork and the know-how.
Can it help with more than just the Australian Privacy Principles? +
Yes. We've mapped the controls across multiple frameworks — so when you implement controls for the APPs, the platform shows you where you're already meeting requirements under standards like ISO 27701, GDPR, and ISO 27001. You comply once and get credit across frameworks, without duplicating effort.
What's the difference between Self-Guided and White-Glove? +
Both use the same platform and produce the same outcome. Self-Guided gives you video walkthroughs to work through at your own pace. White-Glove pairs you with a dedicated privacy consultant who implements alongside your team on a 90-day roadmap.
How long does implementation take? +
White-Glove follows a 90-day roadmap. Self-Guided depends on your pace, but most businesses complete the core program within 4–8 weeks.
Do I still need a lawyer? +
Better Privacy builds your operational compliance program — the policies, procedures, and controls you need day to day. For specific legal advice on complex matters, we'll always recommend engaging a privacy lawyer. We complement legal advice, we don't replace it.
What about the docs site and compliance kits? +
Our compliance kits at docs.betterprivacy.com.au are standalone compliance documents you can purchase individually. The platform generates these documents automatically as part of your program, but the kits are available separately if you just need specific documents.
Don't wait for the audit. Get ahead of it.
