Privacy Awareness Week 16 to 22 June 2025

Published 16th June, 2025

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

This year, it runs from Monday 16 June to Sunday 22 June with the theme: ‘Privacy – it’s everyone’s business’. It is led by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in partnership with state and territory privacy regulators and Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities members.

Privacy Awareness Week provides a great opportunity to make privacy ‘your business’. There are steps we can all take to be more privacy-protective both at work, and in our day-to-day lives.

Signing up as a Privacy Awareness Week supporter is a way of showing your organisation’s commitment to good privacy practices, and the importance of protecting personal information.

We encourage you to promote PAW within your agencies this year, and provide the resources below to help:

There are also some fantastic online events being facilitated by some of the other jurisdictions, you may be interested in checking out their websites:
