Australia has the "Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme" under its Privacy Act, which requires breaches to be reported to the government[0].

It doesn't have an investigatory/corrective framework like the NTSB (in Australia, the ATSB), but it's the first step towards one.

Australian policy on technology and civil liberties has generally been very poor in the past 2 decades, but the Privacy Act and surrounding policies have been one of the few bright points.
