Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This instrument replaces the 2015 rules and fixes who in government can access Australians’ “movement records” (travel in/out of Australia). It prescribes which agencies and which employees may view those records—and limits access to defined official purposes (e.g., law enforcement, national security, immigration compliance). The result: travel history is only visible to authorized officers with a genuine operational need, strengthening a privacy safeguard.
