In March 2022, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) formalised existing collaborative arrangements to form DP-REG.
Through DP-REG, members share information about, and collaborate on, cross-cutting issues and activities involving the regulation of digital platforms. This includes consideration of how competition, consumer protection, privacy, online safety and data issues intersect. The structure, purpose and goals of DP-REG are outlined in our Terms of Reference.
