How we manage your personal information
The additional information WIL may be asked to provide about you to placement organisations is:
• university email address
• mobile phone number
• date of birth
• if you have a current National Police Certificate (National Criminal Record Check)
• information about your vaccination status
• Working with Children Check number or similar information for other states/territories
Some placement organisations may also ask you for your home address. We will not release this information. Unless it is necessary for them to undertake a National Criminal Record Check on you as part of their organisation’s policy, you are not obliged to provide your home address to them. If a ‘home’ address is needed for any other purpose for the placement, you may use the street address of the Faculty, which is 75 East Street, LIDCOMBE NSW 2141.
