If you provide personal information to Comcare, the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) gives you a number of rights, including:
- If we collect personal information from you, you have the right to be told why Comcare is collecting the information and whether the collection is authorised or required by law. If Comcare usually gives the information to a third party, we need to tell you who that third party is. Also, if Comcare knows that that third party usually gives the information to another party, we need to tell you who that party is too.
- The right to have your personal information protected against loss, unauthorised access, inappropriate use, modification, disclosure and against other misuse.
- The right to inspect the personal information digest Comcare is required to keep under the Privacy Act, which sets out the types of personal information held by us.
- The right to access records containing personal information about you, subject to Commonwealth laws that may refuse you access to certain information - the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) also covers access to records.
- The right to have personal information about you corrected if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete (the FOI Act also covers this).
