"It is fine to record a phone conversation if all of the people in the conversation have agreed to it. However, the legality of recording a conversation secretly will depend on the circumstances, in particular who is making the recording and what their reasons are for doing it.

Under the Crimes Act it is illegal to record a conversation that you are not participating in, without the consent of the people in the conversation.

It is not illegal to record a conversation without telling the other people in the conversation if you are a participant in the conversation. However, if you try to use it as evidence in court, the court can rule this evidence as inadmissible. Also, if the recording is for use as evidence in an employment dispute, the fact that it was done without the other participants’ knowledge could be considered a breach of good faith.

If you use a recording in a harmful or offensive way you could be in breach of the Privacy Act or the Harmful Digital Communications Act."
