By providing us with this personal information you consent to our use or disclosure of your information for a secondary purpose directly related to the primary purpose.
Information you have provided to us will be used in three ways:

- To create an accurate and holistic view of the Employment Plus customer base.
- To send periodical communications that you have opted-in to receive. We do not send out to “spam” our customers in any way and honour their right to privacy
Unless permitted by law, we will not use this information for any other purpose without your consent.
The information we collect includes:
- the information you provide to us in writing,
- any additional information you provide to our staff, and
- any information we may need to collect about you from third parties on your behalf.
You can access this information at any time by contacting your Employment Plus consultant or our National Service Centre.
You do have the option of not identifying yourself or using an assumed name for certain matters, unless we consider it is unworkable for some reason. If you wish not to identify yourself, then you must tell us in writing so it can be considered.
By not collecting this information we may be unable to provide you with the employment services, job seeker assistance and training services that we offer.
The collection of this sensitive and personal information may be required by the Social Security Act 1991 (Cth), Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 (Cth) and other social and employment services legislation.
In order to provide you with these services, you consent to our collecting of sensitive and personal information about you. View and complete the full Employment Plus Privacy Notice and forward to your local Employment Plus representative.
