CDR Data Holders are required to submit a compliance report to the ACCC every six months via the CDR Portal at portal.cdr.gov.au. This guide explains how to use the Fiskil Console to find the numbers you need, and provides context on what each question in the reporting form is asking.
This guide is general information only and is not legal advice. Always confirm your reporting position against the latest CDR Rules and ACCC guidance.
Using the Analytics Tab
Most of the data you need for regulatory reporting is available directly in the Fiskil Console under the Analytics tab. Follow these steps each reporting period.
Step 1 — Open Analytics
- Open the Fiskil Console and select your Data Provider workspace from the top-left selector.
- Click Analytics in the top navigation bar.
- You will see tiles for:
- Consumer Data Requests
- Product Data Requests
- Refusals (Total, 403, 404, 422)
Step 2 — Select the correct environment
Use the environment selector in the top right to choose Production.
Staging is used for testing and should not be used for regulatory submissions.
Step 3 — Set your reporting period
In the Period section on the left, set the date range that matches your reporting period:
Note: The date range picker excludes the end date. To capture data up to and including 31 December, enter 1 January of the following year as the end date. The same logic applies for the June period.
The tiles will update automatically once you set the date range.
What to Report — Question by Question
The tables below map each question in the reporting form to where you can find the answer in the Fiskil Console, and explain what the question is asking.
Complaints (Questions 1–7)
Complaint data is managed through your own internal complaints handling system. Fiskil does not capture complaint intake or resolution — you will need to compile these figures independently.
Data Requests (Questions 8–10)
Most data request figures come directly from the Analytics tab in the Fiskil Console.
For Q9 specifically, Fiskil primarily handles requests made by accredited data recipients or intermediaries (for example, apps or services your customers authorise). Fiskil does not generally handle direct consumer-to-data-holder request channels, so this metric is usually sourced from your own systems and often 0 unless your sector supports this flow and it has occurred.
Product Data Refusals (Question 11)
Energy data holders: this entire section does not apply. Enter 0 / No for all fields.
Consumer Data Refusals — Direct from Consumers (Question 12)
Fiskil primarily handles requests made by accredited data recipients or intermediaries (for example, apps or services your customers have authorised). Fiskil does not generally handle direct API requests from individual consumers or business consumers to you as a data holder.
That means Question 12 metrics are usually sourced from your own direct consumer request channels/processes, not from Fiskil Analytics.
For most data holders this will be uncommon and often 0, but if your sector supports direct consumer requests and you have received them, you should report them.
Consumer Data Refusals — From Accredited Persons (Question 13)
This section mirrors Question 12 but covers requests made by accredited data recipients or intermediaries on behalf of consumers — the standard flow Fiskil facilitates. This is where most data holders will have non-zero figures.
Sector Applicability Summary
Common Questions
What if a value is zero?
Enter 0. Do not leave numeric fields blank.
What counts as a CDR complaint?
Any complaint that relates to your CDR obligations — product data availability, consumer data sharing, consent and authorisation, or CDR-related service issues. General complaints unrelated to CDR do not need to be counted.
What is the difference between Q12 and Q13?
Q12 covers requests made directly by consumers to your APIs. Q13 covers requests made by accredited data recipients or intermediaries on behalf of consumers — this is the standard flow Fiskil facilitates and where most data holders will see activity.
I need more detail than the Analytics tiles provide.
The Logs tab in the Fiskil Console provides a full request-level log that you can use to verify or investigate the totals shown in Analytics. If you need data that is not available in the Console, contact Fiskil Support.
