or “How to request urgent access to your personal information”
You could also call this:

“Organisations must help you request access to or correct your personal information”

If you want to make a request to access or correct your personal information, the organisation that holds your information must help you. They have to give you reasonable assistance when you’re trying to make this request or when you’re in the process of making it. This applies to requests made under Information Privacy Principle 6, which is about accessing and correcting your personal information.
