At Australian Recruiting Group, we believe that your right to
keep your personal information private is highly
important. We are committed to maintaining the privacy,
accuracy and security of your personal and sensitive
information.
Further, we are committed to the Queensland Equal
Employment Opportunity and Anti-discrimination
Legislation.
When a candidate registers with Australian Recruiting Group in
order for us to find them employment, there are a number
of things we wish them to know about how we collect,
store, utilise and disclose the information we collect
about them.
The Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 became
legislation on 21 December 2001. The purpose of the Act
is to ensure that your privacy is protected when you
supply personal and private information to any private
sector organisation.
The Act incorporates the National Privacy Principles (NPPs).
Australian Recruiting Group strictly adheres to the NPPs. NPP
1 relates to the collection of personal information
about an individual.
NPP 1.3 requires the organisation that is collecting
information about you to ensure you are aware of your
rights in relation to the collection. To this end,
Australian Recruiting Group has developed the following
Collection Statement, which we invite candidates to
read and sign before we can register them as a
candidate.Collection Statement
What is personal information?
Personal information is any information or an opinion
(whether true or not) about a living person. It may
range from the very sensitive (e.g. medical history or
condition) to the everyday (e.g. address and phone
number). It would include the opinions of others about
a candidate’s work performance (whether true or not),
the candidate’s work experience and qualifications,
aptitude test results and other information obtained by
us in connection with their possible work placements.
Personal information includes sensitive information.
What is sensitive information?
Sensitive information is a special category of
personal information. It is information or opinion about
a person’s:

religious beliefs, affiliations or philosophical
beliefs.
- Membership of a professional or trade
association or membership of a trade union.

disclosed with a candidate’s consent.

actively seek to collect sensitive information about a
candidate, except for information about the candidate’s
membership of a professional association. If we do have
to collect sensitive information about a candidate we
will do so in accordance with the National Privacy
Principles.
