Privacy in clubs and associations is about how your club or association keeps personal information secure and protects it from misuse, loss and unauthorised disclosure. The Commonwealth Privacy Act sets out the requirements an organisation is legally obliged to implement to protect people’s personal information. This also applies to non-profit organisations.
NSW Sport and Recreation encourages all sport and recreation organisations to try to meet these requirements as a matter of good practice, regardless of whether or not the new provisions apply to them.
To understand what is required from your organisation, it is recommended you read the Australian Sports Commission’s Guide to best privacy practices for sporting organisations
