SSI is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy and rights of individuals in relation to their personal information. SSI will collect, keep and deal with your personal information in accordance with the requirements of the SSI Allianz Scholarships, applicable legislation from time to time (including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 as may apply) and SSI’s Privacy Policy.

your contact details
information about your personal and family circumstances
your cultural and language background

Your visa details

This information will be used by SSI to:
assess your eligibility for the SSI Allianz Refugee Scholarship
co-ordinate the delivery of education services to you with other service providers
support your education and training needs
assess and improve our service delivery

for research and marketing purposes.
For the above purposes, your information may be given to support service providers, government agencies, health services and finance institutions.
Failure to provide this information, or retracting your consent at a later date, will mean that SSI is unable to provide this service and you will need to be withdrawn from the program.
Your de-identified information may also be used for statistical or research purposes. This means that any personal information that could reasonably identify you will be removed or changed before it is used for this purpose.
SSI’s Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and disclose information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
