Personal information collected by the ILSC is protected by the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012  (Cth) (Privacy Act). Personal information is any information or an opinion that identifies an individual and includes sensitive and health information.

The Australian Privacy Principles (APP) contained in the Privacy Act set out the ILSC’s obligations in relation to the collection, storage, use, disclosure, quality and security of personal information and access and correction rights of individuals in relation to their personal information.

The Privacy Policy is available in hard copy on request, or it can be downloaded here. It contains additional information about the ILSC’s responsibilities, your rights, the information that may be collected by the ILSC, and how it would be used.

The primary reason for collecting personal information from individuals and groups is to enable the ILSC to carry out its purpose to assist Indigenous people to acquire and manage land to achieve economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits. This purpose includes planning, funding, monitoring and evaluating our work. The kind of information we collect will depend on your relationship with the ILSC (e.g. as a member of an applicant group, trainee, employee, or on line user of the ILSC website). A personal information collection notice will be given to you setting out these uses at or close to, the time the ILSC collects any personal information.

All personal information collected from individuals will be securely stored by the ILSC and protected from unauthorised use or access. All reasonable steps will be taken to ensure information is accurate and up-to-date. Our Privacy Policy also provides a process for requesting access to your personal information and making a privacy complaint.
