Australia - Whether you’re a florist or a lawyer, shred documents

“Business owners have a legal responsibility to protect their staff and
client’s confidential information,” Mr Pote said.

“Whether you manage a florist shop or work in the health industry, your
business holds confidential personal or financial information. If you fail
to store or dispose of this information safely and it falls into the wrong
hands, you risk prosecution under the Privacy Act for breaching client
confidentiality and you could lose your business,” he added.

Under the *Privacy Amendment Act 2012* passed in March 2014, individuals
found to be in breach of the Act can now be fined $340,000, with penalties
of up to $1.7 million for an organisation.
