The primary purpose for collecting personal information from you is to provide disability services to people in need, including planning, funding, monitoring and evaluating our services. The kind of personal information we collect will depend on your relationship with SCIA (eg as a member, client, volunteer, beneficiary, donor, business partner or online user). Without this information SCIA may be unable to provide our support and services.
We usually collect personal information directly from you. However, we sometimes collect personal information from your carer, trustee or authorised representative, a health professional such as a Social Worker or Doctor or from a publically available source, but only if you have consented to such collection or would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information in this way.
If you provide us with personal information about another person (eg contact details), you must ensure they are provided with a copy of this Privacy Statement.

When using your personal information, we may disclose it to certain government departments and regulatory bodies, health care professionals, our professional advisors, referees and former employers of SCIA employees and volunteers, and organisations to whom we outsource services. Some of the people to whom we disclose your personal information may be located overseas.
We take steps to protect all personal, sensitive and health information and government related identifiers held by SCIA against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
Our Privacy Policy contains information on how you can access and seek correction of the personal information we hold about you. It also contains information on how you can make a privacy complaint and how we will deal with your complaint.
