We recognise that your privacy is important to you and we value the privacy of every individual and are committed to the protection of personal data. Our privacy policy complies with applicable privacy laws in processing personal data including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") (which gives certain rights to individuals who are based in the European Union ("EU") during their interactions with us). Our policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage personal information about you. We invite you to check our website regularly for any updates to this privacy policy.

Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of our standard forms, or over the internet, or through interaction with our social media channels, or via email or through telephone conversations or meetings with you. There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is impractical to collect personal information directly from you. We may obtain personal information about you from our members or other affiliated organisations, where the transfer of your information to us is appropriate and lawful, and in keeping with this privacy policy.
