Internal Privacy Complaint Procedures

Code Subscribers will ensure that they make available a copy of the Code and any explanatory material on request, and that they have in place publicly available procedures for dealing with a complaint from inception to satisfaction or determination, which are available to any individual (irrespective of nationality or place of residence) about whom personal information is held. Such procedures should be in line with Australian Standard AS4269.

Time for Resolution and Referral to Privacy Commissioner
