NSW Surveillance Devices Act 2007
Part 2: Installation, use and maintenance of surveillance devices – NSW Surveillance Devices Act 2007

NSW Surveillance Devices Act 2007 9: s 9 Tracking device only with the consent of the person or the object's lawful possessor

No one knowingly installs, uses or maintains a tracking device to find where a person is without that person's express or implied consent, or where an object is unless whoever lawfully possesses or controls it has given express or implied consent. Maximum penalty as for s 7. Exceptions cover warrants or emergency authorisations, Commonwealth law, and installation, use or maintenance for a lawful purpose. Employer GPS on its own vehicles or devices rests on the employer's possession or control, together with the Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 notice duties; tracking an employee personally, or through their own phone or car, needs that person's consent.
