Right to get a copy of information held on one by private company in Australia
<p>Does anyone know what the law in Australia is with respect of getting copies of information held by Australian companies about oneself - particularly notes made by phone operators and recorded phone calls?    </p>

<p>Does it make any difference if I made the call from inside or outside the country to an Australian business ?</p>

<p>(I've run into issues with an Australian Airline incorporated in Queensland)</p>

<p>Australian Privacy Principles require APP Entities who are in possession of information about an individual to give access to that information to that individual upon request by that individual.</p>

<p>Most government departments are APP Entities, but there are other private entities which are APP Entities, including health insurers and other large organizations.</p>

<p>You can contact the Queensland Office of the Information Commissioner (<a href="https://www.oic.qld.gov.au/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.oic.qld.gov.au/</a>) to ask whether a particular airline is an APP Entity, and for further information.</p>
