Privacy Policy

This policy provides a framework for privacy considerations. The nature of your organisation will determine how simple or complex this policy will need to be.

There are several reasons it's important to have a privacy policy in place: 

• Legal Compliance: Organisations must comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles that regulate how personal information is collected, used and managed. 
• Trust: A clear privacy policy helps build trust with donors and stakeholders by demonstrating the organisations commitment to handling personal information responsibly 
• Risk Management: Properly managing personal information reduces the risk of data breaches and legal issues.
• Operation Efficiency: Clear guidelines on how to handle personal information helps ensure consistency and efficiency.

This policy is used whenever private information is collected, including workers. This policy should be regularly reviewed to ensure the organisation is meeting legal requirements.
