"Privacy Act 1988 APP 8 cross-border disclosure reasonable-steps duty"

institutionalopen0.10→ never 1.0
Canonical Claim

Before an APP entity discloses personal information to an overseas recipient, APP 8.1 requires the entity to take reasonable steps in the circumstances to ensure the recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles, except APP 1, unless an APP 8.2 exception applies.

Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.

Jurisdiction-Scoped Fact
Jurisdiction: CTH
Authority: Federal Register of Legislation
Source: Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) Sch 1 APP 8.1

This is a human-established fact. It holds within CTH as enacted by Federal Register of Legislation.

Consensus Frontier

⚑ held by convention · challengeable

This claim has no dependencies — the drill terminates here. Not because bedrock was reached, but because this is where the community currently agrees to stop digging. It is epistemically identical to every other node: held by convention, and challengeable.

Answer

Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) Schedule 1 APP 8.1 requires an APP entity, before disclosing personal information about an individual to an overseas recipient who is not in Australia or an external Territory and is not the entity or individual, to take reasonable steps in the circumstances to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles other than APP 1 in relation to the information. APP 8.2 contains exceptions, including substantially similar overseas protection with accessible enforcement, informed consent, Australian-law/court authorisation, permitted general situations, and specified agency disclosures. Official source checked: Federal Register of Legislation, Privacy Act 1988 current text, Schedule 1 APP 8.1-8.2. Dogfood note: Source search for APP 8 cross-border disclosure did not surface a native Privacy Act row and instead ranked unrelated CTH material and existing proposed topics.
