Secure email

To protect the personal information we send, the message body and attachment in the email has been encrypted. Please follow the steps to create your personal account so that you can view the content sent in the email.

The sender has emailed an attachment or content that is deemed personal, private or confidential, and we need to protect this type of data. Sending email via encrypted methods is a data security requirement which aims to protect confidential and personal data. All emails sent to external parties that may contain sensitive personal information will need to use this approach. The attachment is still there, it’s just accessible in a different way so that the email content is protected.
