Form 424c - Complete this form if you want to correct or annotate your own records containing personal information held by the Department of Home Affairs.
Purpose
This form is used to ask the Department of Home Affairs to correct or annotate personal records it holds when the person believes those records are incomplete, incorrect, out of date, or misleading. Requests are handled under the Privacy Act 1988 or, in some cases, the Freedom of Information Act 1982, and the form also allows a person to have a note recording their own view attached to a record.
