Following the registration of Treasury Laws Amendment (Consumer Data Right) Act 2024, the name ‘Data Recipient Accreditor’ has changed to ‘CDR Accreditor’. We are working towards making this name change in all ACCC documentation, guidelines and online information.

Until this is completed, the term ‘Data Recipient Accreditor’ should be read as a reference to ‘CDR Accreditor’. The name change does not change the functions and powers of the CDR Accreditor or impact applications, data recipients, data holders or consumers.
