Australia: Consultation opened for Consumer Data Right

On 22 July 2021, a public Strategic Assessment consultation paper for Consumer Data Right (CDR) opened for feedback. It outlined four policy goals (regarding consumers, competition, innovation and data sharing) to guide future CDR implementation, as well as a non-exhaustive list of sectors to examine. The CDR is an initiative within the context of the Digital Economy Strategy, that aims to lay the foundation for a data-driven economy.
