133Removing person from affected person register

133 Removing person from affected person register (1) The director-general must remove a registered affected person’s information from the affected person register on request by the person or someone with legal authority to act for the person. (2) The director-general may, at any time, remove a registered affected person’s information from the register if— (a) the ACAT considers that it is no longer necessary for the person’s wellbeing and safety to be a registered affected person; or (b) the person breaches an undertaking not to publish information disclosed under section 134. (3) However, before the director-general removes a person’s information from the register under subsection (2), the director-general must give the person written notice of their intention to remove the information. Note The director-general may delegate the function under this section, for example, to the Victims of Crime Commissioner (see Public Sector Management Act 1994, s 20).

(4) The notice must include a statement to the effect that the person has 28 days to tell the director-general in writing why it is necessary for the person’s wellbeing and safety to remain on the register.
