What do I do if I have a complaint about privacy practices?
Rebel Sport Limited
resolves grievances at the local level if possible. If you have a complaint

All complaints will
be logged on a database/complaints register.
You may complain
orally or in writing to the Company Privacy Officer, 348 Hume Highway,
Bankstown NSW 2200. Usually your contact with the organisation will
be the proper person to discuss or resolve your complaint, however,
if your privacy complaint is not resolved the matter will then be referred
to the Human Resources OHS&W Manager, the next level of management.
Grievance Procedure
The goal of this
policy is to achieve an effective resolution of your complaint within
a reasonable set time frame of 28 days.
1. Request further
information: Your initial contact may request further information from
you. You should be prepared to give as many details as possible including
details of any
relevant dates and documentation. This will enable the contact to investigate
the
complaint and determine an appropriate and useful solution. All details
provided will be
kept confidential.
2. Discuss options:
We will discuss options for resolution and if you have suggestions
about how the matter might be resolved you should discuss these with
your contact. The
contact could also suggest other solutions or give examples of how the
personal
information can be revised or stored in a different way.
3. Investigation:
The complaint may be investigated. The organisation will try to do so
within [72 hours/as soon as possible]. It may be necessary to contact
others in order to
proceed with the investigation. This may be necessary in order to progress
your
complaint.
4. Escalate internally:
If your complaint can't be resolved it will be referred to the Human
Resources Manager. This will be discussed with you before the referral.
5. Discussion with
any other parties: If your complaint deals with the conduct of our
employees we will raise the matter with the employee concerned and seek
their comment
and input in the resolution of the complaint and investigation stage.
6. The complaint
is resolved: If your complaint is found to be substantiated, you will
be
informed of the reason for the decision. Rebel Sport Limited will then
take appropriate
steps to resolve the complaint and prevent the problem from recurring.
7. If the complaint is not substantiated, or cannot be resolved to your
satisfaction, but this
policy has been followed, the decision of the Human Resources Manager
will be final.
Your contact, the Human Resources OHS&W Manager, 348 Hume Highway,
Bankstown NSW
2200, will discuss with you the reasons for the decision.
8. If there is still
disagreement your complaint will be dealt with by a mutually agreed

free to
take your complaint formally to the Federal Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Records

will keep a record of your complaint and the outcome.
Anonymous complaints
Rebel Sport Limited
is unable to deal with anonymous complaints as we are unable to investigate
properly and follow-up such complaints.
However, in the
event that an anonymous complaint is received, Rebel Sport Limited will
note the issues raised and try and resolve them appropriately. For example,
Rebel Sport Limited may wish to conduct further training or provide
assistance in a given area.
