About the Consumer Data Right

The Consumer Data Right (CDR) is a competition and consumer reform which will allow consumers to require a company such as their energy retailer to share their data with an accredited service provider such as a comparison site to get more tailored, competitive services. Consumers will need to consent and authorise their data to be shared under the CDR. Data61 (as the appointed Data Standards Body) is supporting the development of the technical standards that underpin and enable the CDR. Having initially developed standards to meet the needs of the banking sector the focus has now shifted to the energy sector. This event is hosted by the Data Standards Body Technical Working Group, which focuses on functional requirements for CDR API's and information security standards, including authorisation and authentication flows. The Technical Working Group is a consultative body that provides recommendations to the Chair of the Data Standards Body who will take into account those recommendations in the course of setting and amending the Consumer Data Standards.
