Guidance for the Consumer Data Right
Guidance helps you understand how the Consumer Data Right (CDR) works in practice. It supports participants and customers to meet their obligations, implement requirements consistently, and navigate the CDR with confidence. As the CDR develops, guidance will continue to be refined and expanded to reflect how the system operates in real-world settings.

About Consumer Data Right guidance
Guidance explains what the law requires, how those requirements apply to participation, and what good implementation looks like.
Regulated open banking guidance
Regulated open banking is the first sector designated under the Consumer Data Right (CDR). It allows customers of the designated banks to securely share their own banking data with accredited requestors and to initiate payments through accredited requestors.
Regulated open electricity guidance
Regulated open electricity is expected to be the next sector developed under the Consumer Data Right (CDR). The electricity regulations are still being developed, so the detailed requirements for participants are not yet settled.
