Privacy Policy

The Privacy Act of 1988 governs the matter of information privacy in Australia. Ordinarily, small business operators like First Contact Relocations that have an annual turnover of A$3 million or less (and that are not health service providers or do not trade in personal information for benefit, service or advantage) are not bound by the operation of the Act.

Notwithstanding this exemption, First Contact Relocations has voluntarily registered with The Office of the Privacy Commissioner which means that our business is regarded as an ‘organisation’ and obliged to observe the requirements of the Act.

The private sector provisions of the Privacy Act centre around 10 National Privacy Principles (the NPP’s). These principles set out how private sector organizations collect, use, keep secure and disclose your personal information. The principles give individuals a right to know what information an organization holds about them and a right to correct that information if it is wrong.

The ten principles deal with collection, use and disclosure, data quality, data security, openness, access and correction, identifiers, anonymity, trans-border data flows and sensitive information.

You can be confident that any information that you provide to First Contact Relocations will be managed according to the National Privacy Principles.
