It’s a bit more complex than that. The Privacy Act regulates the provision of personal information. Personal information is information that can identify someone and includes things like their address.
However – the Privacy Act regulates specified parties – this includes government agencies, businesses and not-for-profit organisations with a turnover of $3 million or more. Others who are covered by it include hospitals, pharmacies, childcare centres and credit providers.
Query whether an Owners Corporation is caught by the Privacy Act. A strata manager may be. Some organisations opt in to it.
Setting that to one side, the Strata Schemes Management Act provides that owners have a right of access to the strata roll – the list of owners with their addresses. That is what you are entitled to have. The Privacy Act is irrelevant. But you have no right to request their phone numbers or email addresses, because they don’t form part of the strata roll.
