What's changed, and when.

A dated record of what has been researched, checked, corrected and added across the guides, templates and regulatory data. Guides were last reviewed between 2026-07-12 and 2026-07-13. For how each fact is sourced and verified, see how we verify.

  1. 16 July 2026

    Articles section launched

    Three launch articles published, every date and obligation drawn from the verified change events and cited to its official source: the two 10 December 2026 Privacy Act deadlines (AU), the Biometric Code transition ending 3 August 2026 (NZ), and the Cyber Security Act 2024 obligations now in force (AU).

  2. 16 July 2026

    Glossary published

    64 security, privacy and compliance terms used across the guides defined in plain English — tagged Australia, New Zealand or both, with statutory terms linked to their official source and each term cross-linked to the guides that use it. Guide pages also link terms inline — dotted-underlined, first occurrence only — with a hover definition and a jump to the glossary.

  3. 15 July 2026

    Independent source re-check of the change events

    The change events were independently re-checked against the primary and official sources. The majority were confirmed as recorded; a number were corrected — mostly reclassifying a registration or compilation date to the date the law actually changed — and further sourced events were added. The change set now stands at 83 events across 18 guides, 82 verified against a primary source.

  4. 15 July 2026

    Regulatory change tracking added

    For every law and framework guide, dated change events (amendments, commencements, guidance updates and officially-scheduled future changes) were researched from official sources and each date re-checked against the source it came from before being included. 71 events across 17 guides.

  5. 12 July 2026

    Guide corpus researched and published

    The 44 guides (22 Australian, 22 New Zealand) were built from 1,629 individually sourced claims across 440 questions. Every claim was labelled VERIFIED or INFERRED and linked to a source.

Numbers reflect the corpus as it stands today: 44 guides, 1,629 sourced claims, 83 tracked regulatory changes. How we verify →
