This report contains 65 recommendations that seek to introduce a regulatory scheme which will provide a transparent framework for workplace privacy protection in Victoria. It recommends that the Victorian government introduce a Workplace Privacy Act and establish a statutory office to educate employers and workers and oversee the operation of the Act.

The commission recognised the different expectations of privacy protection that many people have when in public or private places. Its recommendations have extended this notion to differentiate between privacy of work-related and nonwork- related activities to cover the modern concepts of work and acknowledge its intrusion into what were once considered private spheres.
