        <b>Australia's data retention obligations become law</b><br>
        <br>
        By Attorney-General's Department<br>
        <br>
        Important message from the Attorney-General’s Department:<br>
        <br>
        From 13 October 2015, telecommunications service providers that
        use communications infrastructure in Australia to provide any of
        their services may be required to retain and secure specific
        telecommunications data for two years. The obligations apply to
        licensed carriers, carriage service providers and internet
        service providers. However, some services are specifically
        excluded—for example, broadcasting services. The data retention
        obligations apply irrespective of the size of your company
        and/or customer base.<br>
        <br>
        This will ensure that Australia’s law enforcement and security
        agencies continue to have lawful access to data, subject to
        strict controls.<br>
        <br>
        The legislation specifies the types of data that must be
        retained, depending on the nature of the service being offered.<br>
        <br>
        Broadly, the data set includes information relating to the:<br>
        <br>
        > source and destination of a communication<br>
        > date, time and duration of a communication<br>
        > communication type<br>
        > location of communications equipment.<br>
        <br>
        This data must be kept for two years. The data set also includes
        subscriber and service-level account information, which must be
        retained for two years from its creation. Certain types of
        subscriber information must be retained for the life of the
        account and for a further two years after the account is closed.<br>
        <br>
        Service providers are not required to retain data about services
        offered by other providers. For example, a wholesale-only
        service provider is only required to retain items in the data
        set that are relevant to provision of its wholesale service.<br>
        <br>
        <b>Service providers that cannot fully comply with these
          obligations by 13 October 2015 should apply to the
          Communications Access Coordinator (a statutory officer within
          the Attorney-General’s Department) for:</b><br>
        <br>
        an extension of up to 18 months by lodging an Implementation
        Plan that details how they will achieve compliance in the
        extended period<br>
        an exemption from and/or variation of the data retention
        obligations in relation to a specific service.<br>
        <br>
        The Australian Government has announced a package of $131.3
        million over three years to help the telecommunications industry
        with the upfront capital costs of data retention. More
        information will be available at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
          href="http://www.ag.gov.au/dataretention">www.ag.gov.au/dataretention</a>
        soon. For detailed guidelines, FAQs and application templates,
        as well as case-by-case support, email <a
          moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:cac@ag.gov.au">cac@ag.gov.au</a>
        or call the Office of the Communications Access Co-ordinator in
        the Attorney-General’s Department on 02 6141 2884.<br>
