28B Sharing information—territory agencies (1) The administrator may— (a) give compliance information to a regulatory agency; and (b) impose conditions on how the regulatory agency uses, stores or shares the information. (2) The administrator may request compliance information from a regulatory agency. (3) A regulatory agency that receives a request under subsection (2) may— (a) give the information to the administrator; and (b) impose conditions on how the administrator uses, stores or shares the information. (4) However, compliance information must not be given under this section unless the entity that gives the information is satisfied that— (a) the entity that receives the information (the recipient) will use the information to exercise a function the recipient has under a territory law; and

The work health and safety commissioner (the WHS commissioner) is investigating XYZ for possible breaches of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.
