Some 3306 privacy complaints were lodged during the reporting year up 12 percent on the previous year. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has observed as its annual report raises calls for the government to be more open with its handling of citizen data. Finance providers accounted for 13 percent of complaints, with Australian government bodies (12 percent) and healthcare providers (10 percent) rounded out the three most complained-about industries. Complaints took 4.4 months to resolve and the agency finalised 2920 complaints up 6 percent during the year.”]
