This draft follows the topics required for an Australian Privacy Principles privacy policy, but TSC must confirm its actual systems, service providers, overseas disclosures, retention practices and privacy contact before publication.
Draft prepared 14 August 2026
1. Scope and commitment
Tradie Skills College (TSC, RTO 46096, CRICOS 04201C) respects the privacy of prospective students, students, graduates, staff, contractors and website visitors. This policy describes how TSC may manage personal information in connection with its website, enquiries, admissions and education services.
TSC intends to manage personal information consistently with applicable Australian privacy requirements, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply.
2. Information TSC may collect
Depending on how you interact with TSC, the college may collect:
- Identity and contact information, including your name, phone number, email and address
- Course enquiries, communication history and study preferences
- Education history, English language evidence and entry assessment information
- Enrolment, attendance, assessment and qualification records
- Government-related identifiers where collection is authorised or required
- Health or support information where relevant to safe course participation and collected with appropriate consent or authority
- Website usage, device and technical information collected through approved website services
Information may be collected directly from you through forms, interviews, assessments and correspondence, or from an authorised representative or other source where permitted.
3. Why information is collected and used
TSC may collect, hold and use personal information to:
- Respond to course enquiries and provide requested information
- Assess eligibility, suitability and individual support needs
- Process applications, enrolments and student administration
- Deliver training, assessment and student support services
- Maintain required education and regulatory records
- Communicate service, course and administrative updates
- Improve website services, safety, quality and compliance
- Meet legal, regulatory and reporting obligations
TSC should only collect information that is reasonably necessary for its functions and activities. Sensitive information should only be collected with consent or where another lawful basis applies.
5. Storage, security and retention
TSC should take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. Information may be held in physical files and approved electronic systems with access limited according to operational need.
Information should be retained for the periods required by education, taxation, employment and other applicable laws, then securely destroyed or de-identified when it is no longer required.
6. Access, correction and privacy complaints
You may ask TSC for access to personal information it holds about you or request a correction if information is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. Some lawful exceptions may apply.
You may also raise a concern about how your information has been handled. TSC should acknowledge the request or complaint, investigate it fairly and explain the outcome and any available review options.
8. Privacy contact
Privacy enquiries may be directed by phone to 0421 175 971, by email to admin@tsc.edu.au, or through the website contact page.
