"Sharing information and reports about retirement villages"

Illustration for Retirement Villages Act 2003

You might get documents or information when you inspect a retirement village under section 97. You might also write a report about the inspection. The Registrar can tell you to give these documents, information, or reports to certain people. You can be told to give them to the Minister, the chief executive of a government department, or the official assignee. You can also be told to give them to someone the Registrar chooses, or a liquidator. The Registrar can direct you to give the documents, information, or reports to them. You must not show these documents, information, or reports to anyone else unless the Registrar says you can. You can show them if you got direction from the Registrar, or if the person it is about says it is okay. You can also show them if it is for the purposes of the Act, or if the information is already public. There are some other exceptions, like if you are in court, or if a liquidator needs the information.
