#### 150‑54 Commissioner may notify entity before authorising disclosure
(1) If:
(a) the Commissioner is considering authorising, under subsection 150‑51(3) or 150‑52(3), the disclosure of information; and
(b) the information concerns an entity;
the Commissioner may give the entity written notice that the Commissioner is considering authorising the disclosure.
> Note: The entity may be the registered entity mentioned in paragraph 150‑51(3)(a) or 150‑52(3)(a), or another entity (such as an employee or member of the registered entity).
(2) If:
(a) the Commissioner authorises the disclosure of information under subsection 150‑51(3) or 150‑52(3); and
(b) before authorising the disclosure, the Commissioner gave notice to an entity under subsection (1) of this section that the Commissioner was considering giving the authorisation; and
(c) that entity gave the Commissioner a response to the notice, and did not indicate in the response that the response was confidential;
the Commissioner may cause a copy of the response, or any information included in the response, to be published on the ACNC’s website.
(3) To avoid doubt, the Commissioner is not required to do anything under subsection (1) or (2) before authorising the disclosure of information under subsection 150‑51(3) or 150‑52(3), or before a disclosure is made in accordance with such an authorisation.
