Privacy

As part of the Victorian Government’s Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development (DIIRD), the Skilled and Business Migration Program values the privacy of every individual's personal information and health information.

We are committed to protecting the information we collect and use by complying with the Information Privacy Act 2000 and the Health Records Act 2001.

Protecting your privacy and your personal and health information is an important aspect of the way we create, organise and implement our activities online and offline.

You can access our website home page and browse our site without disclosing personal information. We will only record an individual's email address and/or contact details if they send our site a message. The information an individual provides is collected for the purposes of responding to the matters raised in an individual’s electronic correspondence.

We will only collect personal and health information that is necessary to perform these functions. We will only use personal and health information provided for the purposes for which it was collected.

We will ensure that your personal and health information will not be disclosed to other institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation.

When you provide us with personal and health information about other individuals, we rely on you to make them aware that such information will or may be provided to us, the types of third parties we may provide it to, the relevant purposes that we and such third parties will use it for, and how they can access it.

We have implemented technology and security policies, rules and measures to protect the personal and health information that we have under our control from unauthorised access, improper use, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction and accidental loss.

We will remove personal and health information where it is no longer required (except where archiving is required and in compliance with the Public Records Act 1973). We will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal and health information is accurate, complete and up to date whenever we collect, disclose or use it.

Please note:
This privacy statement does not extend beyond this website. When linking to other sites from this website, we recommend that you read the privacy statement of that site to familiarise yourself with its privacy principles.
