PRIVACY

Australia introduced the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 in 2001. The Parliament Managers (The Meeting Planners) comply with such legislation which is designed to protect the right of the individual to privacy of their information. Information collected in respect of proposed participation in any aspect of the Parliament will only be used for the purposes of planning and conduct of the Parliament and may also be provided to the organising body or to organisers of future events. It is also usual to produce a ‘Participant List' of attendees at the Parliament and to include the individual's details in such a list. Consent for publication of the individual's information may be withheld when completing the registration form for the Parliament. Individuals are also entitled to access the information held by written application to the Parliament Managers.
