Part 2: Installation, use and maintenance of surveillance devices – Victoria Surveillance Devices Act 1999

Victoria Surveillance Devices Act 1999 8: s 8 No tracking device without 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. Exceptions: warrants and emergency authorisations, Commonwealth law, and orders under the Serious Offenders Act 2018, parole orders, community correction orders, prison governor orders and bail electronic monitoring conditions. Maximum for an individual: 2 years' imprisonment or a 240 penalty unit fine (both level 7), or both; for a body corporate 1200 penalty units. Officers who fail to exercise due diligence are also liable (s 32A). Employer GPS on vehicles or devices it lawfully possesses or controls rests on that possession or control; tracking a worker as a person, or through their own phone or vehicle, needs the worker's consent.
