Other recommendations
Further to the recommendations communicated on 19 December 2025, to protect yourself from potential scams more generally, we recommend that Landholders consider taking the following steps:
1. Be alert to any suspicious emails, SMS or telephone communications that are disguised to look like they come from someone you know or trust. Verify the legitimacy of communications by authenticating the sender. This includes checking email names and domains.
2. Do not open links that look suspicious. If you are unsure about a link sent to you by a company, you should go to the company’s website and look for the product or service that was offered.
3. Be alert to phishing scams. This could include scams that target you through post or email. Phishing scams are attempts by scammers to trick people into providing their personal information passwords, credit card numbers and/or sensitive personal information.
We apologise for any concern this accidental disclosure may have caused. Safeguarding your information is extremely important to us, and we remain committed to maintaining your trust.
We will continue to update Landholders as more information becomes available. For further information, please contact the Customer Experience team on 1300 138 265.
