14  Australian Privacy Principle 6: Use or disclosure of personal information (as customised for the purposes of this Code)
       Use or disclosure
       (1)    If a Research Organisation holds identifiable research information about an individual that was collected for a particular purpose (the primary purpose), the Organisation must not use or disclose the information for another purpose (the secondary purpose) unless:
         (a)    the individual has consented, or
         (b)    the use or disclosure of the information is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or court/tribunal order;
         (c)    it is unreasonable or impracticable to obtain the individual's consent to the use or disclosure; and the Research Organisation reasonably believes that the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual, or to public health or safety.
         (d)    the Research Organisation has reason to suspect that unlawful activity, or misconduct of a serious nature, that relates to the Organisation's functions or activities has been, is being or may be engaged in; and the Organisation reasonably believes that the collection, use or disclosure is necessary in order for the Organisation to take appropriate action in relation to the matter.
         (e)    the Research Organisation reasonably believes that the use or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary for one or more enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf, of an enforcement body

            Note: Australian Privacy Principle 8 sets out requirements for the disclosure of personal information to a person who is not in Australia or an external Territory.
