As part of your enrolment in the ENVISAGE program, we need to collect some information about you, your child, and your experience of the program. We collect this information to provide you with a high-quality program.

We will share some information with our community partners for the purpose of delivering the ENVISAGE program to you. This information is stored securely in Australia. We may also use de-identified information or quotes that you supply in publications such as presentations, reports, website or social media posts.

To access our online learning platform, we use your first name and email address to create your online learning platform and account. Your user details are stored securely on a server in Canada.

We collect some personal details from you on this form. Your personal information is protected by law, including by the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

How we use the Data Exchange

We use an IT system called the ‘Data Exchange’ to manage your details and the services we provide to you. This system is run by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS). DSS stores your personal information in the Data Exchange and only shares it with us so we can manage your services.

Your record in the Data Exchange can include your name and address, which helps us manage your details. However, you do not need to provide this information to DSS. If you choose not to, it will not affect the services you receive. You can also ask for this information to be removed from the Data Exchange at any time.

How DSS uses your information

DSS uses your de-identified (anonymous) information in the Data Exchange for things like policy development, managing grants, research and evaluation. DSS may share this anonymous data with other organisations for reporting and research purposes. Your personal details are removed before this happens so you cannot be identified.

DSS collects information in the Data Exchange so that government agencies can understand and improve how services are helping Australians. By agreeing to have your information shared in the Data Exchange you are supporting understanding and improvement of the services that you use.

More information

To learn more about how DSS manages your personal information, including how you can access or correct your details or make a privacy complaint, visit the DSS website and read their privacy policy.

Your information will not be shared with any other Third Parties without your consent or unless authorised by law. Providing your personal information is not required by law, however we will be unable to provide the ENVISAGE program to you if you choose not to.

We take your privacy very seriously and will manage your personal information in accordance with the ACU Privacy Policy and in line with our privacy obligations under the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and, where applicable, international regulations.
