We will not divulge any of your personal information to any third party for any reason other than the primary purpose for which it was collected.

However, personal information can be shared if:

• It is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for a secondary purpose which is directly related to that purpose;
• The disclosure is authorised by law, or for law enforcement or investigation;
• The disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious and imminent threat to life, health or safety; and
• The person consents to the disclosure on the Institute form “Authorisation to Disclose Information”.

Individuals have the responsibility to notify the Institute of changes to their personal information.

If you advise us of errors in your information, we will correct them.

We have a Privacy Policy and Procedure, which can be viewed in the libraries and on our website.

The Procedure includes a Complaints Procedure for investigation and rectification of breaches of this Policy.
