The Consumer Data Right (CDR) 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 working closely with Treasury (with overall policy responsibility) and other regulators. The CDR will allow consumers to transfer their data more easily between providers. Data sharing will allow consumers to compare and switch between products and services, and will encourage competition between providers, leading not only to better prices for consumers but also more innovative products and services.
