Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Indigenous Defence & Infrastructure Consortium (iDiC) collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information through this website, our forms, our communications and the external recruitment platform used for career opportunities.

We aim to handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply. This policy may be updated from time to time, and the version published on this website will be the current version.

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us. It may include your name, organisation, position, email address, telephone number, location, the content of your enquiry and any other information you choose to provide.

When you submit an enquiry form, we collect the contact details and message information needed to understand and respond to your request. When you submit the partner form, we may also collect information about your business, ownership, capabilities, certifications, locations, experience and interest in joining or working with the consortium.

When you view or apply for a career opportunity through the iDiC careers site, the recruitment service is provided through Vincere. Information collected may include your employment history, qualifications, skills, referees, eligibility to work, security-clearance information, identification documents, resume, application responses and other recruitment information you provide.

We may also collect technical information automatically, including IP address, device and browser information, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location and website usage information. We may use cookies or similar technologies to support website operation, security and analytics.

We generally collect personal information directly from you when you use our website, submit a form, apply for a role, contact us, attend an event, enter into discussions with us or communicate with an iDiC representative.

We may also receive information from your employer or organisation, consortium partners, clients, recruitment providers, referees, publicly available sources and other parties where you have authorised the disclosure or where collection is otherwise permitted by law.

We may use personal information to respond to enquiries; assess partnership and supplier opportunities; communicate with consortium partners, clients and stakeholders; manage events and relationships; provide information about iDiC services; operate, secure and improve the website; maintain records; and comply with legal, contractual, audit and reporting obligations.

Recruitment information may be used to assess applications, match candidates with opportunities, communicate about roles, undertake reference and eligibility checks, support onboarding and talent-pool administration, and meet client or regulatory requirements associated with a position.

We may use contact details for relevant business communications. You may ask us to stop sending promotional communications at any time.

We may disclose personal information to iDiC personnel, consortium partners, clients and prospective clients where reasonably required to respond to an enquiry, assess a business opportunity, deliver services or progress a recruitment application.

We may also disclose information to technology, hosting, form-processing, analytics, communications, professional-advisory and recruitment service providers, including Vincere in connection with the careers platform. These providers may process information on our behalf under their own service and security arrangements.

Information may be disclosed where required or authorised by law, to protect the rights or safety of iDiC or others, or as part of a business restructure or transfer. We do not sell personal information.

Some service providers may store or process information outside Australia or use infrastructure distributed across several countries. The countries involved may vary over time according to the provider and service configuration. Where practicable, we take reasonable steps to use providers with appropriate privacy and security safeguards.

We take reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain business and recruitment records, and to satisfy legal, contractual, insurance and audit requirements. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it, subject to applicable retention obligations and backup processes.

You may request access to personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. In some circumstances, access may be limited or refused where permitted by law, and we will explain the reason where required.

This website may link to third-party websites and services, including the iDiC careers site operated using Vincere technology. Those services may collect information directly and may have their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review the privacy information presented by the relevant third party before providing personal information.

For questions, access or correction requests, or concerns about how personal information has been handled, contact iDiC using the website contact form and identify the request as a privacy matter. We will review and respond within a reasonable period.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
