The Right to Request a Notation

Where an application for amendment to personal information is refused, the applicant may request a notation or attachment be placed on the relevant document. The notation may include details of the information the applicant claims to be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or misleading.

Where it is claimed that information is incomplete or out of date, the attachment or notation can also set out the information required to bring the document up to date.

A request for a notation or attachment will be refused if it is considered by UWA to be defamatory or unnecessarily voluminous.

A refusual of the request or part therof will be explained in a Notice of Decision to the applicant which will include the following: 

  • an explanation of why UWA has refused to make the notation or attachment,
  • or refused to make it in the form requested; and
  • the applicants right to request a review of the decision.
