 (a) the reasons for the Commissioner's decision to take no further action and any appropriate feedback for the complainant in relation to that decision; and
 (b) information about how the complainant may apply for reconsideration of the decision by the Commissioner.
 (2) However, the Commissioner is not required to comply with subsection (1) if:

 (3) In complying with subsection (1), the Commissioner may, on request from a person with disability affected by an issue raised in the complaint, exclude information.
