Collection And Disclosure Of Personal Information About Others 

​

Job Hunters and Migrants must provide basic personal information of Referees, including relationship history and contact details. 

By providing personal information about another person, you can confirm that: 

​

1. You have the authority to share that information with us.

2. You have obtained the individual's explicit consent to disclose their personal information to us for relevant use in our business and service provision. 

3. You have complied with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) when collecting their personal information, including necessary notifications under APP 5. 

4. You have informed them about our privacy policy, including our identity, use and disclosure of personal information, and their rights to access and correct that information. 
    

We typically collect and retain information about referees that is essential for assessing the suitability of our Job Hunters for specific roles or work, as well as meeting visa or other migration requirements for Australia. 

​

Collection of Personal Information 

​

The collection of your personal information depends on the type of service we provide as a migration and recruitment agent. The collection methods may vary based on whether you are a Job Hunter, Migrant, Employer Client, Referee, or fall under the "Other" category. We collect personal information in the following ways: 

1. Directly from you 

2. Through interactions with our website 

3. From other sources 
    

We primarily collect personal information directly from you unless it is impractical or necessary to work with a third party to obtain or validate the personal data service provided. Typically, this information is collected via email and other agreed-upon direct communication with Job Hunters, Migrants, or Employer Clients. 

​

While browsing our website for your personal information, we will provide the following reminders: 

1. Our contact details 

2. The purpose and reasons for collecting your information 

3. If collection is required or authorized by law, the relevant details 

4. Consequences if we cannot collect your personal information

Storage of Personal Information

 

We have implemented robust security measures, including physical and digital safeguards such as locks, security systems, firewalls, and passwords, to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, interference, and authorized access, modification, or disclosure. Only authorized personnel with specific responsibilities have access to your personal information. 

​

Koala Solutions takes all necessary steps to securely destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information when it is no longer needed. We prioritize the protection of your personal information from loss, misuse, interference, and unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. While we strive to protect your personal information on our website, it’s important to note that no Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of any information to or received from us online. This is especially true for information sent via email, as we cannot safeguard it until it reaches our network. However, once we receive your personal information, we are obligated to protect it in accordance with the relevant regulations. 

​

Maintenance Of Personal Information 

​

We strive to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and currency of the information we collect, use, and disclose about you. This means:

​

1. The information we collect about you is accurate, complete, and up-to-date at the time of collection. 

2. We use your personal information accurately, ensuring it is up-to-date and complete at the time of use. 

3. If we disclose your personal information, it is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and reliable at the time of disclosure.

​

Disclose Personal Information 

​

We will not use or disclose your personal information for any purpose other than with your consent, except in limited circumstances such as:

• When disclosure is required by law 

• If you default on your account, we may disclose your personal information to a collection agency to recover the debt. 

• If there is reason to suspect unlawful activity, we may disclose your personal information as part of an investigation or to report concerns to relevant authorities.
   

We will not collect sensitive information without your consent unless it is necessary to provide our contracted services as a Migration and Recruitment agent. We will not disclose sensitive information without your consent once you are aware that it will be collected during our service discussions or provision.

 

In certain situations, we may need to disclose your personal information to an overseas recipient. Before doing so, we have an obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient complies with privacy laws (Overseas Disclosure Obligations). We strive to fulfil these obligations whenever possible.

 

If we are unable to comply with Overseas Disclosure Obligations, we seek your consent to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients as needed. If you provide consent:

• The Overseas Disclosure Obligations will not apply to us 

• Overseas recipients may not have obligations similar to those in the Privacy Act and APPs 

• Overseas recipients may be required by foreign laws to provide their personal information to authorities

 

Correction And Maintenance Of Your Personal Information ​

​

Ensuring the accuracy and relevance of personal information is crucial for our services. Depending on your relationship with us as a Job Hunter, Migrant, or Referee, our representative will work directly with you. It is important that you provide true and correct information and notify us of any changes that may affect the services provided. 

​

Suppose we correct your personal information that has been previously disclosed to another entity bound by the APPs. In that case, we will make reasonable efforts to notify that entity of the correction upon your request unless it is impractical or unlawful to do so. 

​

If we refuse to correct your personal information after your request, we will provide a written notice explaining the reasons for the refusal and the procedure to lodge a complaint. 

​

While we may recover reasonable costs for providing access to your personal information, we will not charge for submitting a request to access your information.
