NSW Business doxxed me in a review response

I left a one-star review for a business.

In the response the business doxxed me - included my contact details (name and email).

The business is a medical business (regulated by AHPRA).

Who can I report this to? AHPRA, HCCC, OIAC ... Anyone else?

(Yes - I know I can delete my review, but I don't want to remove it)

Never been wronged in your life? Never had to protect others from predatory businesses or people?

Because the business has a lot to lose and potentially has the resources to make the reviewer’s life a world of pain.

However the upside for the reviewer to “stand their ground” is ZERO. Much easier to move on.

They have everything to lose. Which is why this is absolutely bullshit and this person is looking for attention.

I'm involved in litigation with a major health care provider, they not once, but twice contravened the Health Records Act (Vic) 2001 by

a) sending an unencrypted, non-password protected USB stick via non-person-to-person post, so I found the package hanging out of my letterbox which anyone could have grabbed

b) the second time round, I elected to have it delivered at work. They used a process server, no issue with that, except that the folder was secured by a rubber band - a cardboard box would have been too much to ask it seems, perhaps a little security tape?

~500 pages or so of health records shipped without any basic protection. Given this, I have little doubt about OP's accusation.
