PRIVACY POLICY

We understand the importance of privacy for personal information. We have adopted this Privacy Policy as we recognise the rights of individuals to keep their personal information private.
This Privacy Policy covers treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect or hold (personal information). We will treat personal information we collect or hold in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles, as set out in Schedule 1 of the Privacy Act 1998 (Cth). The Australian Privacy Principles can be accessed at the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (Read the Australian Privacy Principles - Home (oaic.gov.au)).
The personal and sensitive information we collect and store:
We may collect personal information from employees, job applicants, contractors, and other individuals. We collect this information for our business purposes. This information may include names, contact details, job titles, tax file number, etc. Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect personal information and the consequences of not providing it will be made clear at the time of collection.
We do not collect sensitive information about individuals without their consent such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of political, professional or trade associations, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, criminal record, health, or disability information.
Any personal or sensitive information that we collect from an individual will only be used for the purpose for which it was collected subject to the exceptions if it is required by law or is necessary in handling a legal claim.
The types of personal information that we collect will depend on the nature of a person’s dealings with us.
How we collect and store personal information:
We normally collect personal information directly from an individual but if an individual has consented, or would reasonably expect us to, we may collect personal information from a third party as well (for example in order to verify an individual’s identity and for due diligence purposes, or for the prevention and detection of money laundering and terrorist financing). Where it is practical to do so, we will seek a signed authorisation from you to allow us to obtain information from third party organisations.
We may collect information through forms filled out by individuals, face to face meetings, email messages, telephone conversations, when you use our websites or our social media, or by third parties. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that contact.
We may also collect information given to us by third parties with whom we do business. This may include personal information contained in materials provided to us. When this occurs, we rely on the person providing us with that personal information having the right to do so.
The reasons we collect, hold, and use personal information:
The main purposes for which we collect, hold, and use personal information are:
to respond to an individual’s request or enquiry
to communicate and maintain contact with persons with whom we do business
for our general management and reporting purposes, such as invoicing and accounts management
for recruitment purposes and certain purposes related to employment of our personnel including providing products and services to our staff
other business purposes
