The Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) requires the department to notify an individual of certain matters when it collects personal information about them. This form is your notification of those matters.

Purpose

This is an information notice, not a form to be completed. It explains how the Department of Home Affairs collects, uses, stores and discloses personal and sensitive information under the Privacy Act 1988, and how individuals can access or correct their information or make a privacy complaint.

When it is used

Referred to whenever a person provides personal information to the Department, and cross-referenced by many departmental forms so applicants can understand the privacy implications before completing them.
