Amending personal information
You have the right to request an amendment of your personal information that we hold if you believe the information is inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or misleading.
Informal request
Before submitting a formal amendment application, contact us and ask us to amend the personal information that requires updating (e.g. if you simply wish to update your contact details).
Formal application
If you wish to make a formal application to amend your personal information under the Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act), you can download the application form and submit your application by either post, fax, email or in person.
Applications for amendment under the IP Act do not incur an application fee, or access or processing charges.
