We endeavour to ensure that all personal information that we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date. To assist us with this, individuals should contact us if any of their personal information changes, or if they believe that the personal information that we have is not accurate or complete.

When personal information that we collect is no longer required by us, we will destroy or de-identify that personal information unless we are required by a law or a court/tribunal to retain the personal information.

9 Security of personal information

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

 

However, the open nature of the Internet is such that information exchanged via the Internet may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. Any personal information is therefore sent via the Internet or email at your own risk. You should also be aware that no system is completely secure against attack by malicious actors.

You should contact us immediately if you believe that there has been unauthorised access or disclosure with respect to any personal information that we hold about you.

10 Access to personal information

You are entitled to have access to and seek correction of any personal information that we may hold about you, subject to the grounds for refusal under the Act.

We prefer that requests for access to or to update or correct your personal information to be in writing outlining the details of your request. Such requests should be addressed to our Privacy Officer via the details provided in this Policy.

We do not impose any charge for requesting access to personal information however we may, at our discretion, impose a reasonable charge for giving access to cover staff and copying costs.

We do not impose any charges with respect to requests to update or correct your personal information.

We will take appropriate steps to verify your identity (or verify that you act as an authorised agent of the individual concerned) before granting access to your personal information.

We will respond to your request for access to your personal information within a reasonable time after you make the request and if access is granted, access will be provided within 30 days from your request. If we deny your request, we will provide you with a written notice detailing the reasons for the refusal and the process for making a complaint about the refusal to grant your request.

Where your request for access is accepted, we will provide you with access to your personal information in a manner, as requested by you, providing it is reasonable to do so.

Your request for correction will be dealt with within 30 days, or such longer period as agreed by you. If we deny your request, we will provide you with a written notice detailing reasons for the refusal and the process for making a complaint about the refusal to grant your request. We will accept your request for correction of your personal information where we are satisfied that it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

Upon accepting a request for correction of your personal information, we will take all steps that are reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to the purpose for which your information is held, to correct your personal information.

If we refuse to correct your personal information you have the right to associate with the information a statement that the information is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. We will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to associate that statement with all records we hold that contain the relevant information.

  1. our maintaining, using and disclosing your personal information in the way described in this Policy; and.
  2. any disclosure of your personal information by us overseas on the understanding that if the overseas recipient handles the personal information in breach of the Australian Privacy Principles, the entity will not be accountable under the Act, and you will not be able to seek redress under the Act. The overseas recipient may not be subject to privacy obligations or any principles similar to the Australian Privacy Principles. Individuals may not be able to seek redress in some overseas jurisdictions, and overseas recipients may be subject to a foreign law that could compel the disclosure of personal information to a third party such as an overseas authority.

12 Notifiable data breaches

We will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner about any data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to you. There are exceptions where notification is not required, for example where we have already taken appropriate remedial action that removes the risk of serious harm to any individuals, or where there is another party whom has the more direct relationship with you and whom it is more appropriate to provide you with that notice.

If you believe that we have breached the Act you may make a complaint. A written complaint can be emailed or posted to our Privacy Officer using the contact details set out below. Please include contact details for us to contact you regarding your complaint.
