    I have a few issues with Dingo’s post (above):

    They have 30 days to respond to your complaint in writing otherwise you may take matters to Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) who will determine if they can investigate your matter on your behalf which is free.

    Only owners corporations or businesses with a turnover of more than $3 million a year would come under the Privacy Laws administered by the OAIC. There is a checklist you can do on the OAIC website – it will tell you that you are probably not covered.

    As you are a tenant you are not listed on the strata roll …

    Landlords are legally obliged to register the names of their tenants with the Owners Corp and can be fined if they don’t

    … and all real estate agents are subject to privacy laws.

    Not all.  Only, those with a turnover of more than $3 million, according to this AOIC fact sheet.  In any case, this has nothing to do with the real estate agents.  It’s an issue between the resident and the owners corp which is highly unlikely to be covered by privacy laws.
