Get Skilled Access Pty Ltd (“Get Skilled Access”, “GSA”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals and handling personal information in a transparent, respectful, and responsible way.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, hold, use, disclose, and protect personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
This Policy applies to personal information collected by GSA in the course of our work, including through our website, programs, services, events, training, recruitment activities, and communications.
In some circumstances, we may provide additional privacy notices (for example, for specific events, programs, or recruitment activities) which operate alongside this Policy.
“Personal information” means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.
Examples of personal information we may collect include names, contact details, organisational details, employment information, and information provided through forms, surveys, training platforms, or correspondence.
“Sensitive information” is a subset of personal information and includes information about an individual’s health, disability, cultural background, racial or ethnic origin, or other information protected under the Privacy Act.
GSA may collect sensitive information in limited circumstances, including where individuals choose to disclose such information (for example, to support accessibility, inclusion, or participation in our programs). Disclosure of sensitive information is always optional, unless required or authorised by law.
We only collect and use sensitive information:
with an individual’s consent; and/or
where it is directly related to our services or activities; and
where required or authorised by law.
GSA works directly with children and young people as part of our programs, education, and community initiatives.

We may disclose personal information to trusted third parties who support our operations, such as professional advisers, technology service providers, event partners, and program delivery partners, where required to carry out our activities.
We do not sell personal information.
GSA may use personal information to share updates, resources, newsletters, or information about our services and programs.
