Note that the website privacy statement does not apply to linked web sites, however we do not link knowingly to sites that are privacy-invasive. When you link to another site, we recommend you read the privacy statement of that site to familiarise yourself with its privacy policy.

Access and Correction

Requests for access to documents containing personal information and held by EEPS are handled under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 and can be addressed to the FOI officer, c/o Office of the Victorian Privacy Commissioner, GPO Box 5057 Melbourne Victoria 3000, Australia.
