How to make a privacy complaint
Under the Privacy and Responsible Information Sharing Act 2024 (WA) (PRIS Act) you can make a privacy complaint about how a WA public entity (or their contracted service provider) has handled your personal information. Importantly:
- The OIC can only deal with privacy complaints if the alleged interference with your privacy occurred on or after 1 July 2026.
- You should first complain to the entity who you believe has mishandled your personal information and give them a reasonable time (usually 30 days) to respond. If you have not complained to the entity your complaint is about, the OIC is likely to decline your complaint.
If you wish to make a privacy complaint to the OIC, download and complete the privacy complaint form available on this page. If you want to print the form to complete in hard copy, please use the 'printable' version.
Using the OIC’s privacy complaint form will ensure you provide the OIC with the necessary information for your privacy complaint. It also assists the OIC to process and respond to your complaint.
You can find out more about your privacy rights and what you can complain about by visiting ‘What are my privacy rights?”
