With the acquisition of illion, Experian is in a strong position to capitalise on significant growth potential in our Australia and New Zealand markets (A/NZ). Experian's Compliance function will play an important role in this journey, supporting the business to manage regulatory risks and opportunities in a way that benefits our colleagues, our customers and our communities.

To deliver a best-in-class service across our combined, much larger organisation in A/NZ, Compliance will need to grow our team and build our capabilities, including strengthening our privacy framework.

One key focus will be to prepare the business for reforms to Australian privacy laws, while continuing to support compliance with New Zealand's own regulatory regime.

Another key focus will be to support the business to grow its Consumer Data Right (CDR) proposition in Australia, in full compliance with its obligations, while preparing for New Zealand's introduction of their equivalent regulations.
