SalaryThe Consumer Data Right Division
The Consumer Data Right is one of the Australian Government's key digital policy initiatives, and critical to achieving the goal of being a leading digital economy and society by 2030.
The ACCC is accountable to regulate and deliver the Consumer Data Right (CDR), working closely with Treasury (with overall policy responsibility) and other regulators. The Consumer Data Right will allow consumers to more easily transfer their data between providers. Data sharing will allow consumers to compare and switch between products and services, and will encourage competition between providers. This will lead not only to better prices for consumers but also more innovative products and services. The Consumer Data Right is being rolled out sector-by-sector across the economy. The roll out started with the banking sector, will be followed by the energy sector, and is then expected to be expanded to telecommunications. Future developments are likely to include third-party action initiation including third party-payment initiation.
The Consumer Data Right Division of the ACCC is responsible for delivering those outcomes. The Division has around 120 employees and contractors (plus IT vendor staff) with an annual budget of approximately $49 million (FY2022) including substantial capital expenditure.
Within the CDR Division there are two branches:
- The Regulatory branch is responsible for regulatory guidance, accreditation of data recipients, promoting compliance, enforcement & exemptions.
- The Solution Delivery & Operations branch is responsible to plan, design, build and run the technology solutions, to support participants including testing, on-boarding and incident management, for cyber security and a range of project and business management functions.
A governance, coordination and finance team also supports the division.
More information about the Consumer Data Right is available on the ACCC website and the Consumer Data Right website.
