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.

About this guide

This guide has been co-produced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), and focuses on:

  • the key requirements of a CDR representative arrangement
  • the steps a CDR representative principal should take to ensure that its CDR representative complies with the CDR representative arrangement and the provisions in Division 4.3A of the CDR Rules.

This guide should be read together with the CDR Rules and CCA.  Entities can also find more general information on CDR representative arrangements in the ACCC's CDR representatives fact sheet, the OAIC's Privacy Safeguard Guidelines and OAIC’s CDR representative model guidance.
