Subpoenas and other notices

Under the disclosure provisions in our legislation, we cannot be required to comply with a subpoena or other notice to disclose official information that relates to someone else or is not already publicly available. 

If we are served with a subpoena ordering us to disclose such information, we will contact the subpoenaing party and the court and explain why we cannot comply.

Before serving us with a subpoena or notice, we encourage you to contact us.

Law enforcement agency requests

• We can disclose official information to a law enforcement agency if it is:

  • for the purpose of:

    • investigating a serious offence (being an offence against an Australian law that is punishable by imprisonment for a period exceeding 12 months)

    • enforcing a law, the contravention of which is a serious offence
