Consumer Data Rights MSATS Consultation

On 26 November 2017, the Australian Government introduced the Consumer Data Rights (CDR) to: 

• Give consumers greater access to and control over their data. 
• Improve consumers’ ability to compare and switch between products and services.  
• Encourage competition between service providers, leading to better prices for customers, as well as more innovative products and services. 

The CDR reform is being led by the Federal Treasury and supported by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

Conceptionally, the CDR model in energy is to facilitate the authorised transfer of an authenticated consumer’s data from a Data Holder to an Accredited Data Recipient (ADR).
