Where can I find the official Australian instrument approving guidelines issued under section 95A of the Privacy Act 1988?
The approval of guidelines issued under section 95A of the Privacy Act 1988 is published on the Federal Register of Legislation (C2014G00421), issued by the Attorney-General's Department.

Legislative History
Compilations, amendment records, and point-in-time versions of federal instruments where available, version by version, each tied to its source on the Federal Register of Legislation.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Rulings, determinations, guidance, and explanatory materials from Australian federal regulators such as the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), with further regulators added on request.
Case Law

Why Lawstronaut for Australian legal research
Australian legal information is spread across the Federal Register of Legislation, parliamentary materials, federal regulators, courts, and state and territory sources. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Australia legal coverage
Australia is a common-law federation. Commonwealth (federal) primary legislation, legislative instruments, and regulations are consolidated and published on the Federal Register of Legislation (legislation.gov.au), the authoritative federal source. The Commonwealth Parliament enacts Acts, while delegated legislation is registered federally, and federal regulators such as the Australian Taxation Office publish rulings and guidance. Case law comes from courts including the High Court of Australia and the Federal Court, where available. Records are published in English. The states and territories legislate separately — Western Australia and the Northern Territory are covered as their own Lawstronaut jurisdictions.
Australian federal law moves continuously: compilations on the Federal Register of Legislation are updated as amendments commence, and regulators issue a steady flow of rulings, determinations, and guidance. Point-in-time data straight from the official source is what keeps an Australian legal research answer correct today.
