6. Overseas disclosure — prepare for it!
Before you disclose personal information to an overseas recipient, you must take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient complies with the APPs (although there are some exceptions, which are outlined in APP guidelines Chapter 8). These may include entering into an enforceable contractual arrangement that requires the overseas recipient to handle the personal information in accordance with the APPs (except for APP 1).
If you disclose personal information to an overseas recipient you may remain accountable for how it is handled by that recipient (although again there are some exceptions).
More information can be found in Sending Personal Information Overseas.
