Our Privacy and Data Policy outlines the kinds of personal and sensitive information we collect, why we collect this information, and how we handle it.

We may collect personal information about you when it is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our functions or activities. We may collect sensitive information about you where you provide consent, when the collection is authorised or required by law, or the collection is otherwise allowed under the Privacy Act.

How we collect personal information
