Access to your information to correct it if it is wrong
Subject to some exceptions which are set out in the National
Privacy Principles (Principle 6 – Access and Correction),
you have a right to see and have a copy of personal information
about you that we hold.
If you are able to establish that personal information that
we hold about you is not accurate, complete and up-to-date,
we will take reasonable steps to correct it so that it is
accurate, complete and up-to-date.
If we are unable to agree that personal information that
we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date, you
may ask us to place with the information a statement by you
that claims that particular information is not accurate, complete
and up-to-date.
If you wish to exercise your rights of access and correction
you should contact our Privacy Officer, whose details are
shown above.
In some cases we may impose a moderate charge for providing
access to personal information. We will not charge you simply
because you lodge a request for access.

hours 8.30 am - 5.30pm on (08) 8100 8877, or mail to Level
