Access Subject to some exceptions that are set out in the National Privacy Principles, you can gain access to the personal information that we hold about you.

If you wish to obtain access to your personal information, you should contact our Privacy Co-ordinator. You will need to be in a position to verify your identity. We might impose a moderate charge in providing access. Our Privacy Co-ordinator would discuss this with you. You should also anticipate that it may take a little time to process your application for access as there may be a need to retrieve information from storage and review information in order to determine what information may be provided.
