Consultation on draft lists of NDIS supports – Privacy Collection Notice
The Department of Social Services (department, we us) is currently inviting the community to provide feedback on the following consultation NDIS Legislative Rules (Consultation).
This feedback will be used as part of our consultation process to understand how the proposed legislative changes will impact the Australian community, particularly people living with disability, their family and carers.
If you decide to be part of the Consultation we may be able to identify you (for example, by your email address or other computer information). Because it is your choice to participate, this means that when you provide responses to questions to the Department, you consent to your opinions and other information about you in your responses being handled in the ways described in this notice.
The Department is required to handle personal information and sensitive information it collects about you in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). You can find more information about how we do this in our privacy policy (link), including your rights to access information and make a complaint.
- Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.
- Sensitive information is a subset of personal information and includes information about things like health and disablility.
If the Department publishes information about Consultation responses, this will be to identify common themes and issues and will not identify any individual. We will not send your information overseas, and we will not disclose it, unless we are required or authorised by law to do so.
