Personal information shared with Victorian contact tracers not fully protected
A secret Supreme Court ruling has confirmed personal information shared with Victorian contract tracers does not have absolute protection. The new ruling means third-party companies, crime-fighting agencies and other authorities like WorkCover can apply to access the data. The finding - discovered by the Herald Sun newspaper - revealed Victoria's COVID-19 Commander Jeroen Weimar launched a legal bid to have the court case suppressed for five years. Since the start of the pandemic contract tracers have maintained any details shared would only be used for public health purposes.
