We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, unauthorised access, misuse, and disclosure. These steps include:

  • Secure servers and encrypted connections for data transmitted through our website.
  • Access restricted to authorised staff who need the information to perform their duties.
  • Regular review of our security practices and procedures.

While we work hard to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to responding promptly to any suspected data breach in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020.
