to the extent required or allowed under a territory law to lessen or prevent a serious and urgent threat to the life, health or safety of an individual, or to public health or safety; or
to comply with—
a mandatory reporting requirement under the Children and Young People Act 2008, section 356; or
a reportable conduct requirement under the Ombudsman Act 1989, division 2.2A; or
to the extent required or allowed under a territory law prescribed by regulation.
The information sharing entity (other than the information sharing coordinator) must tell the information sharing coordinator and the information sharing entity that disclosed the information, in writing, about the disclosure or use.
