Privacy Complaint Handling Procedure
This Privacy Complaint Handling Procedure sets out the process we will undertake to deal with complaints regarding breaches of Australian privacy law including under the Privacy Act and State and Territory legislation relating to health information.
Any complaints should be made in writing to Incore Developments HR Manager.
We will resolve all privacy complaints through this procedure:
A privacy complaint is received (Complaint)
Within (5) business days following receipt of the Complaint, Incore Developments Victoria will send a communication via post, fax or email to the person whom made the complaint (Complainant) acknowledging receipt of the Complaint.
Following the acknowledgment of receipt of the Complaint (as outlined in Step 2), a Incore Developments Victoria investigator will notify the Complainant via post, fax or email, that they have been assigned to investigate the Complaint and commence the investigation.
The investigator will conduct an investigation of the Complaint. During this process, the investigator may request further information from the Complainant.
Within thirty (30) business days from the date all information is received, the Investigator will contact the Complainant, via post, fax or email, notifying the Complainant of proposed avenues of resolution. The Complainant and the investigator may work together to collaboratively resolve the Complaint to the Complainant’s satisfaction. Incore Developments Victoria will notify the individual if additional time is needed to respond due to the complexity of the inquiry.
If the Complaint cannot be resolved by the Complainant and the Investigator in accordance with Step 5, then the Investigator will notify the HR Manager (Notification) who will then take steps to resolve the matter.
Following receipt of all requested information, the HR Manager will contact the Complainant via post, fax or email, and propose an avenue(s) of resolution.
If the Complainant agrees to the proposed avenue(s) of resolution, the Complainant and the HR Manager will work together to close the matter.
In circumstances where resolution cannot be achieved in accordance with Steps 1 to 8, the HR Manager will advise the complainant that they may direct their Complaint to the Federal Privacy Commissioner or take independent advice as to their rights.
The Complainant may contact the Federal Privacy Commissioner as follows:
