Privacy
This website is managed and maintained by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (the Department). When you visit this website, we record anonymous information about your visit and log the following information for statistical purposes - your server address, your top level domain name (for example, .com, .gov, .au, .uk etc), the date and time of visit to the site, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the previous site visited and the type of browser used.
This information is not specific to you and is used for system administration purposes, as well as statistical analysis. While anonymous information does not tell us anything about you specifically, it tells us about how you use our site.
Another type of anonymous information shared between your browser and our server is a cookie. A cookie is a small text file that a server places on your hard drive to identify that subsequent requests to a site have come from the same user. The Department uses cookies to 'remember' your browser between page visits. In this situation, the cookie identifies your browser, not you personally. The Department uses cookies on this website to develop patterns of site usage.
No personal information is stored within the Department's cookies. For more information on cookies refer to http://home.netscape.com and http://www.microsoft.com.
No attempt is made by the Department to identify users or their browsing activities except, in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect the Department's logs.
The Department will only record your e-mail address if you send us a message. This information will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it and will not be added to a mailing list. We will not use your e-mail address for any other purpose and will not disclose it without your consent.
External sites that are linked to or from the Department's internet site are not under our control and you are advised to review their privacy statement. Users should note there are inherent risks associated with transmission of information via the internet. Therefore users should make their own assessment of the potential risks to the security of their information when making a decision as to whether or not they should utilise external sites that are linked to or from the Department's internet site.
