Section 152 — Privacy Act 2020: Requirement to give notice of adverse action

152 Requirement to give notice of adverse action (1) A party to an approved information sharing agreement must give written notice to an individual before it takes any adverse action against the individual on the basis (whether in whole or in part) of personal information about the individual that was shared under the agreement. (2) The notice must— (a) give details of the adverse action that the party proposes to take and the personal information about the individual on which the action is based; and (b) state that the individual has 10 working days from the receipt of the notice within which to dispute the correctness of that personal information. (3) To avoid doubt, the individual who is given the notice may take any steps that are available under any enactment to dispute any proposed adverse action against them, but the only basis on which the individual may show cause under this section as to why the proposed adverse action should not be taken is that it is based on incorrect personal information.
