Workers are able to access their own personal information recorded by us. This includes their accrued entitlements and information supplied by employers through the lodgement of employer returns.
Employers can access their own personal data, historical returns data, financial transactions and their current employees service accrual and entitlements.

In the pursuit of their duties in administering the scheme, authorised staff may access records of employers and workers.

Information that is aggregated and does not therefore identify an individual, may be released for reporting purposes, for example the annual report, actuarial review and statistical reports.
