Privacy Information

The privacy amendment (private Sector) Act No 155 of 2000 came into effect on 22nd December 2001 and requires private sector organisations, such as the Uniting Church, to develop policy outlining how personal information is handled and managed.

The Uniting Church is not structured as a national church, but is made up of Synods - bodies that are essentially state based. Consequently each Synod has produced it’s own privacy policy and these can be found on each of the Synod web sites.

From time to time, the Board of Education, Uniting Church, requires information from you in order to promote the work of the church and to provide educational resources to you as a people of the church. If you do not provide all the relevant information, then the Board of Education is limited in its capacity to educate and resource. Please also note that the Board of Education may provide your personal information to a third party (other agencies within the Uniting Church or bodies of the church) in order to promote and educate the wider church/community. If you believe that any information is incorrect or out of date, you may request that we correct it. Generally speaking, you can access your personal information by contacting janiceb@nsw.uca.org.au

If you wish to access your information or have any queries in relation to the manner in which the Board of Education handles your personal information, please contact Jan Borham, Office Manager 02 8267 4293 janiceb@nsw.uca.org.au
