We understand the importance of, and are committed to, complying with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”) and the associated Australian Privacy Principles (“APP”). This document sets out our condensed Privacy Notice.

We need to collect personal information about you to provide you with our broking and related services. This privacy statement tells you how we collect your information, for what we use the information and with whom we share the information. If we collect information that can be used to identify you, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of that collection.

Sensitive information Sensitive information is any information about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual preferences or practices, criminal record or health information. We will not ask you to disclose sensitive information, but if you elect to provide sensitive information it will also be captured and stored.

How information is collected from you

We will collect your information from you directly whenever we can, like from enquiries we make of you when you seek credit assistance from us. We may verify that information from sources referred to in the responses to those enquiries or in this privacy statement.

How information is collected from other sources

Sometimes we will collect information about you from other sources as the Privacy Act 1988 permits. We will do this only if it is reasonably necessary to do so, for example, where :

• we collect information from third parties about a loan or lease in relation to which you seek our services;
• we cannot get hold of you and we rely on public information (for example, from public registers or social media) or made available by third parties to update your contact details; or
• we exchange information with your legal or financial advisers or other representatives.

When the law authorises or requires collection of information
