From 21 December 2001, PLAN Australia came within sector
provisions of the Privacy Act 1988. In accordance with
the Principal 5 of the Privacy Act, this statement sets
out in general terms how PLAN Australia handles personal
information.
PLAN Australia respects the privacy of your personal
information
PLAN Australia is bound by the 10 National Privacy Principles
in the Privacy Act and has issued a policy to its members
on member's privacy obligations.
Use and disclosure of personal information
PLAN Australia maintains a database of its members, for
the purpose of tracking and making payments of members'
commissions. Details from this database may be released
to relevant banks and to the PLAN Australia trustees in
order to administer the commission system.
PLAN Australia collects limited personal information about
its member's clients, in order to track and make payment
of members' commissions relating to those clients. Clients'
details are not generally disclosed outside PLAN Australia.
Right of Access
Any personal information held by PLAN Australia can be
accessed in accordance with Principal 6 of the Privacy
Act.
Because our members may hold more client personal information
than is supplied to us, clients may be referred to the
PLAN Australia member who dealt with the application,
in some cases.
To exercise your rights of access, for more information
on how we handle personal information, or to make a complaint
about a breach of privacy by PLAN Australia, please contact
