Accurate and up to date information
We will always aim to make sure that the personal information that we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up to date. We will take reasonable steps to make sure this is the case and will undertake regular reviews and updates or records for that purpose. For this purpose we also ask that you let us know if any of our information appears inaccurate or out of date.
Anonymity and pseudonymity
Generally, you can deal with us anonymously (without identifying yourself) or under a pseudonym (fictitious name). However, in certain circumstances we will ask you to provide personal information because it is required by law to do so, or because it would be impracticable to deal with you anonymously or under a pseudonym.

We will check the identity of individuals making requests to determine within 14 days whether the request will be met.
Resolving privacy issues
If you are concerned that the way in which we collect, hold, use or disclose your personal information may be in breach of the APPs, please send written details of your complaint to the Contact Address.
After receiving a complaint, we will conduct internal discussions and evaluate whether we believe that such collection, holding, use or disclosure of your personal information was in breach of the APPs. We will endeavour to notify you of the results of our investigation of your complaint within 30 days of receiving your complaint. However, if your complaint involves complex issues or requires extensive investigation, it may not be possible to respond within this timeframe. If the conclusion of our investigation is that our collection, holding, use or disclosure of your personal information was in breach of the APPs, we will take steps to remedy the breach as soon as reasonably practicable.
If after dealing with us you are still not satisfied, you are entitled to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information.
