The only way someone else can access you're details is if you and your nominated 3rd party sign an LOA form (Letter of Authority). If this isnt done and your information is disclosed the individual who disclosed this information is liable for a $30,000 fine and the company is liable for $300,000 (these figures are a little old, its been a while but its approx)
This is definately a breach of the Privacy Act...you can either report this to the Privacy Commisioner who will investigate and you prolly wont hear of it again or simply call the bank in question and blow the shit outta them. The employee who breeched the act will recieve a formal warning, possibly dismissal and you might get some freebies your way
I used to work in finance and i breeched the act once, when i first started out...fuck did it create a shit storm

As for the bank staff having your banking information I don't think this is covered by the privacy act unless they are giving it to third parties without notifying you.

Bank Staff are covered under the privacy act...on a "need to know" basis throughout the course of their work. However if any of that info is given out without your prior written consent then you've got them by the balls
lol...its funny how many people used to say "but i'm his wife & i pay the bills". Stiff shit, is it your account? No...are you authorised to speak on his behalf? No...get a clue
if you need any particular info pm me...
