Controller

The term "controller" is not used in the Privacy Act 1988. It comes from overseas privacy law, such as the EU's GDPR. Some people use it casually in Australia. The closer Australian term is "APP entity." If a cyber event exposes personal data, the organisation in charge may face regulator checks. It may also have to notify people. Cyber insurance often looks at this role. It affects who is liable, and what compliance costs apply.
