(2) One way of advising the person (or the representative) is to give a copy of all or part of the NACC investigation report prepared in relation to the investigation. (3) In advising the person of the outcome of the investigation, the Inspector: (a) must not disclose section 235 certified information to the person if the disclosure of the information to the person would contravene the certificate issued under section 235; and (b) must exclude information from the advice if the Inspector is satisfied that: (i) the information is sensitive information; and (ii) it is desirable in the circumstances to exclude the information from the advice. (4) Before giving the person information about the outcome of the investigation, the Commissioner must consult with the head of each Commonwealth agency or State or Territory government entity to which the information relates about whether the information is sensitive information. (5) In deciding whether to exclude information from the advice under paragraph (3)(b), the Inspector must seek to achieve an appropriate balance between: (a) the person’s interest in having the information included in the advice; and (b) the prejudicial consequences that might result from including the information in the advice.
