Summary

In June, the ACCC released consultation rules for enabling the use of accredited intermediaries to collect CDR data. The draft rules proposed collection with one party (the provider) collecting on behalf of the other party (the principal) under what was termed a Combined Accredited Person (CAP) arrangement.

Following consultation, Rules made on 1 October 2020 permit such collection not under a CAP arrangement but through extending the existing rules for outsourcing arrangements, with an accredited outsourced service provider collecting on behalf of a principal.
