Is a vilification complaint or conciliation confidential?

Yes. The particulars of a complaint and the conciliation must at all times remain confidential, and nobody may publicly comment on or pass on information about a complaint or conciliation before, during or after the conciliation.

The exception is where a complaint is resolved by conciliation: any public statement about it, including an apology, must be agreed by the parties.
