Section 61D - Notice of decision to investigate complaint

Guidelines

OVIC will notify parties when it accepts a complaint

1.1

If the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner accepts a complaint, it must write to:

  • the principal officer, agency, or Minister to which the complaint relates;
  • the complainant; and
  • any other person whose rights or interests may be affected by the subject matter of the complaint,

to notify the parties that the complaint has been accepted and to provide a copy of the complaint.2

1.2

Writing to the agency or Minister and providing them with a copy of the complaint helps to ensure the parties receive notice of the complaint and the issues it raises so the agency or Minister may respond to them.
