This notice outlines how the National Indigenous Australians Agency (the Agency) collects and protects your personal information when you communicate with us about our review of the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act), and when using our website.
Further details about how the Agency handles personal information is contained at the end of this notice and in our Privacy Policy.
Communicating with you
The Agency collects your personal information (such as your name and your email address), to communicate with you about your specific feedback or enquiry (if you have submitted one) or to distribute updates (if you have subscribed). Providing the requested information, including your contact details, is voluntary. If you choose not to provide us with your contact details, we will not be able to contact you to discuss your feedback further, but your feedback will still be considered in the drafting of the final report.
You can choose to receive updates and information by subscribing – email CATSIActReview@niaa.gov.au. You can also choose to communicate with us using social media on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. These are voluntary third party services.
If you would like to communicate with us directly, you can email us.
Video conferencing services
The Agency uses a third party provider, Pexip, to conduct its online consultation sessions for the CATSI Review. If you choose to participate in an online session:
- we will provide your personal information to the third party service provider, Pexip, for the purposes of seeking your feedback on the CATSI Act
- any personal information held by Pexip is handled in accordance with Pexip’s Privacy Policy.
Feedback you provide through these sessions may be summarised and included in a consultation summary report if one is drafted by the NIAA at the conclusion of consultation. Participants in the virtual consultation sessions will not be identified in the summary report and comments will not be attributed to them unless consent is given.
Social networking services
If you choose to communicate with us through a third party social network service such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn:
- we may collect your personal information to help us communicate with you and the public
- the social network service providers (and potentially their partners) may collect, use, and hold your personal information, including overseas
- the social networking service providers will also handle your personal information for their own purposes. These services have their own privacy policies. You can access the privacy policies for Twitter (link opens new window), Facebook (link opens new window) and LinkedIn (link opens new window) (a Microsoft company) on their websites.
Emails
When you email us personal information, or provide it to us through a form provided through this site:
- we will record your email address and any other information submitted
- we will use this information for the purpose for which you provide it
- your email address will not be added to a mailing list, unless provided by you specifically for that purpose.
If you fail to provide us with a minimum level of information (generally, a name and email address), we may not be able to respond to you.
The NIAA may prepare a feedback summary report at the conclusion of consultation. If you email us with feedback, please indicate in writing whether you consent to your feedback being published on the NIAA’s website or not, as well as whether you consent to:
- the consultation report identifying you (as well as your organisation) as the author, with comments attributed to the submission; or
- the consultation report only including comments in the submission anonymously (i.e. without identifying you or your organisation).

Use of your information
We will not publish any submissions or email feedback unless you give us your consent to do so. Unless you notify us otherwise, we may publish feedback received during the virtual consultations sessions without identifying the individual who provided it.
Any personal information provided to us is only used by the NIAA for the purposes of the CATSI Act Review. For the same purpose, we may provide your comments in a de-identified form to the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations and the Minister for Indigenous Australians. Aside from this, we will not provide any information collected from you to anybody else outside the NIAA unless you have given consent for us to do this, or the law requires or authorises us to do so. Our Privacy Policy on our website describes when this might occur.
