Even if you have no documented losses, you may still be eligible for a base payment simply for being affected.

Yes, proof is required for this settlement. At minimum, you'll likely need your data breach notification letter from ACCC. If you're claiming additional compensation for losses, you should also gather any relevant documentation — such as bank statements showing fraud, identity theft reports, receipts for credit monitoring services, or records of time spent dealing with the breach. The more documentation you have, the stronger your claim.
