20 Mar 2026 Singtel Optus Pty LtdOptus: unlisted numbers of 41,278 customers published in the phone directory Order
Singtel Optus asked customers who ported their number to Optus whether they wanted to appear in the phone directory, but between October 2015 and September 2019 it did not act on requests for an unlisted number, so that 41,278 affected customers remained published in the White Pages. The Privacy Commissioner found a breach of APP 11.1 because Optus did not remove a risk of errors it had been aware of throughout the period with reasonable steps such as regular system reconciliations, and declared that the company must not repeat this conduct. The regulator intends to decide on compensation separately in a representative complaint concerning the same conduct.
Known sources of error in legacy systems and in disclosures to third parties must be eliminated through regular reconciliations rather than tolerated for years.
