Last week, our team was delighted to attend and support the AmCham South Australia Business Series Lunch, In Conversation with Senator the Hon Penny Wong, as a proud event partner.

It was a privilege to hear from Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Hon Penny Wong, in a compelling conversation moderated by Belinda Heggen of FLUENT Media.

🎙️ Have you ever heard this at the start of a phone call, Teams meeting or Zoom meeting?

"Before we continue, I'd like to let you know that this call [or conversation] may be recorded for training and quality purposes. If you do not wish the call [or conversation] to be recorded, please let me know."

💡 These announcements are made for good reason. The recording of conversations is governed by a complex framework of Commonwealth, State and Territory legislation, as well as laws relating to the collection and use of personal information.

Whether you're recording a workplace discussion, a business meeting or a personal conversation, the legal requirements surrounding consent can be more complex than many people realise.

In this article, we explore when consent is required to record a conversation and the key legal considerations individuals and businesses should understand before pressing record.
