Hi Richard, It's common when selling to a large enterprise in Australia that you'll have to provide statements of compliance (or non-compliance) for their security and privacy requirements. They'll then consider the risks and may ask you to mitigate them (through encryption, etc).
Ask your hosting provider to provide a statement of compliance. It's common. I've found Australian hosting providers happy to provide statements of their compliance to various security and privacy requirements as a part of doing business here. The Privacy Act and National Privacy Principles are straight-forward as all Australian businesses are bound by the Act and NPP. Use Australian businesses with servers physically located and supported in Australia, and get them to provide a statement of compliance. An enterprise client will usually accept that they have to pay more for that privilege. OrionVM, NineFold, Ultraserve have all been great. I have not checked whether using AWS in Australia is as straight-forward.
