What are my rights regarding access to information if I am an unsuccessful job applicant?

Under the Privacy Act an unsuccessful applicant has the right to access personal information, which would include any notes written during the interview by a panel member. Best practice for interview panels includes:

a standard set of questions is asked of all applicants
standard work tests are conducted for all applicants
the development of scoring templates set against objective criteria drawn from the job description
the systematic use of templates by the panel members
retention of all notes made by panel members until after the successful applicant starts work.
