We will use all reasonable endeavours to keep your personal information in a secure environment, safe from misuse, interference, loss or unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Notwithstanding the reasonable steps taken to keep information secure, breaches may occur.  In the event of a security incident we have in place procedures to promptly investigate the incident and determine if there has been a data breach involving personal information, and if so, to assess if it is a breach that would require notification.  If it is, we will notify affected parties in accordance with Privacy Act requirements.
