You may supply your Personal Information to us when communicating with us via social networks and other online channels, e.g. through your Facebook identity or you may directly upload information to our platforms or submit it directly to education counselors.

We do not collect Personal and Sensitive information unless the information is reasonably necessary for our business activities. We will obtain your consent before collecting any Sensitive Information.

The purposes for which the information is collected
We collect, hold and use your Personal Information so that we can provide our services to you.

The way in which we use and disclose Personal Information
We will use or disclose your Personal Information only for the purposes for which it was collected. 

We will use or disclose your information for a secondary purpose only if you have consented or if you would reasonably expect us to do so or as required by law.

We may use your Personal Information for the purposes of our own direct marketing; however we will ensure you have an ability to opt out of future such communications.


We take reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information we hold against interference, loss, unauthorized access, use, modification or disclosure, and other misuse.

The steps we take include:
• maintenance of computer technology, people and process-based security measures for example firewalls, network security configurations, use of passwords and other appropriate measures where information is held in electronic form
• regular updates to security systems and configurations to protect our systems from malicious activity
• restriction of access to data to only those staff that need access to carry out our business activities

However, you should be aware that if you submit information to us electronically the internet is not a secure environment. We take reasonable steps to provide a secure channel for receiving information but cannot absolutely protect Personal Information before it reaches us.

When the Personal Information that we collect is no longer required, we will destroy, delete it in a secure manner, or ensure that the information is de-identified in accordance with our information destruction and de-identification policy, unless we are required by law to retain a copy of the Personal Information, or the information is contained in a Commonwealth record.

How individuals can access and correct their Personal Information held by us

You have the right to seek access to any of your Personal Information held by us unless there is a valid reason under the Privacy Act for us to withhold the information.

Valid reasons include:
• we have reason to suspect that unlawful activity or misconduct of a serious nature has been engaged in and giving access would be likely to prejudice the taking of appropriate action in relation to the matter or
• giving access would reveal evaluative information generated within us in connection with a commercially sensitive process.
