Does the PSST have the right to disclose personal information, such as home address, to other parties involved in my complaint?
The Privacy Act states that, generally-speaking, personal information under the control of a government institution cannot be disclosed by the institution without the consent of the individual to whom it relates. If you provided the Tribunal with your home address when submitting your complaint either on the form provided by the Tribunal or on another document, you have implicitly given your consent to the Tribunal to disclose this information. The Tribunal does not, however, require a complainant to provide his/her home address on the complaint form. In fact, the Tribunal encourages complainants to use a business address in order to ensure that their home address is protected. For this reason, the explanatory notes at the top of the PSSTs complaint form read as follows: 3. The addresses you provide will be disclosed to all parties to the complaint. (A business address is therefore preferable). 4. A copy of the complaint as well as any supporting documentation will be forwarded to all
