We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information collected is accurate, complete and up-to-date. The following statement outlines how your personal information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Our Collection
In order for Accel to provide you with recruitment services, it is necessary for us to collect personal information. This information maybe collected via such means as your application, your resume, or a direct dealing with one of our consultants via a face to face meeting, phone conversation, email, fax or letter.
In some circumstances we will collect information via a third party for reasons such as reference checks and competency tests. In all instances we will endeavor to gain your prior consent, however where not practicable, we will take all reasonable steps to inform you that this has occurred.

If we engage the services of a third party that requires the handling of personal information, then we will take reasonable steps to prevent the service provider from using that information for any reason other than the one for which it was supplied.
Our Security
We hold information both electronically and in the form of paper-based documentation. We have procedures in place and take all practicable steps to protect against misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
We will retain your personal information for only as long as is deemed necessary and will take all reasonable steps to destroy any identifying information during disposal.
