  • Paying entitlements and grants
  • Responding to requests

CLC is required by law to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) gives everyone the following rights:

The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) requires organisations to have a Privacy policy.
