Personal information collected by us via this website will not routinely be passed on to a third party organisation without your consent. Where any information may be provided from this website to a third party this will be clearly stated before individuals can access our web-based services.

We may be required to collect your personal information under Commonwealth and/or Victorian laws relating to the sale of real estate, taxation, foreign investment, money laundering and/or terrorism.

The main consequences for you if you do not provide your personal information will be that you may be unable to access information from this website.

If you wish to access your personal information you have provided to us, you can do so by contacting us.

NPP 2: Use and disclosure of personal information

We will only use or disclose your personal information provided to us for the purposes that it was collected (primary purpose) unless an individual has consented, or the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose and the individual would reasonably expect such use and disclosure.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information we collect or use will be accurate, complete and up to date.

NPP 4: Data security

We will take all reasonable steps to protect personal information that we collect or hold from misuse, loss or unauthorised access.

Any personal information required will be entered by the individual and as such the integrity and the accuracy of the information will be contingent on the individual making the entry.

We will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access of your personal information.

Individuals placing personal information on the website also have an obligation in keeping their personal information secure. This obligation includes using up to date security and anti-virus software, and ensuring that their web browser is secure.

We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed under NPP 2.

NPP 5: Openness

We have a policy and procedure in respect of the management of personal information. A copy of the policy is available on request here

On request an individual can be advised generally what sort of personal information is held about him or her, for what purpose, and how that information is collected, held, used and disclosed.

NPP 6: Access and correction

We will provide an individual with access to his or her personal information on request to enable the individual to update or amend that information. To access your personal information you may contact us.

We do not have to provide access to an individual’s personal information to the extent that:

  • Providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to life or health of any individual; or
  • Providing access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals; or
  • The request for access is frivolous or vexatious; or
  • The information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between us and the individual, and the information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings; or
  • Providing access would reveal the our intentions in relation to negotiations with an individual in such a way as to prejudice those negotiations; or
  • Providing access would be unlawful; or
  • Denying access is required or authorised by or under law; or
  • Providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity; or
  • Providing access would be likely to prejudice:
  • the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offences, breaches of a law imposing a penalty or sanction or breaches of a prescribed law; or
  • the enforcement of laws relating to the confiscation of the proceeds of crime; or
  • the prevention, detection, investigation or remedying of seriously improper conduct or prescribed conduct; or
  • the preparation for, or conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal, or implementation of its orders;
  • by or on behalf of an enforcement body; or

An enforcement body performing a lawful security function asks us not to provide access to the personal information on the basis that providing access would be likely to cause damage to the security of Australia.

NPP 7: Identifiers

We will not use as an identifier of an individual an identifier that has been assigned by an agency, an agent of an agency acting its capacity as an agent, or a contracted service provider for a Commonwealth contract acting in its capacity as contracted service provider for that contract.

An identifier of an individual does not include an individual’s name or an ABN.

NPP 8: Anonymity

Where practicable, and where personal identification is not required, we will provide individuals with the option of communicating with us anonymously.

NPP 9: Transborder data flows

We will not transfer your personal information to a recipient in a foreign country without your prior consent and unless we reasonably believe the recipient of the information is subject to a law, binding scheme or contract which effectively upholds principles for fair handling of the information that are substantially similar to the National Privacy Principles.

NPP 10: Sensitive information

We will not collect sensitive information from you, unless you consent or it is required by law or in special circumstances. For example, to a health service or for public health or safety.
