A7.40 Requests to National Office or Appeals Branch

1. National Office and Appeals Branch do not normally deal with requests for client information under the Privacy Act. Requests received by those offices will usually be forwarded to the relevant processing branch.
2. The secretariat to the Residence Appeal Authority (RAA), Removal Review Authority (RRA), and Refugee Status Appeals Authority (RSAA) does not process requests for information held on NZIS files. However, the RAA and RRA is required to provide the NZIS with a copy of the appeal and decision, and these should be on the relevant NZIS file. With respect to the RSAA, only a copy of the decision is required to be provided.
