  • we have taken such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Overseas Compliance);
  • we reasonably believe that the recipient of the information is subject to a law, or binding scheme, that has the effect of protecting the information in a way that, overall, is at least substantially similar to the way in which the APPs protect the information and there are mechanisms that you or the relevant individual can access to take action to enforce that protection of the law or binding scheme;
  • we tell you that Overseas Compliance will not apply and you consent to the transfer; or
  • the disclosure of the information is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court / tribunal order.

  2. Notwithstanding paragraph (a), we may not grant you access to Personal Information for reasons including:
    • if doing so would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
    • if the request for access is frivolous or vexatious; or
    • for Health Reasons, Legal Reasons or similar reasons.
  3. If we deny you access to Personal Information, we will provide reasons for our decision.
