In some programs, the Department may disclose your personal information to overseas entities to administer the TRA Programs, to overseas researchers or consultants (where consent has been given for this or we are otherwise legally able to provide this information) or to foreign governments and law enforcement agencies (in limited circumstances and where authorised by law).
We need your consent to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients unless otherwise permitted under the Privacy Act. You do not have to consent to the disclosure of your personal information to overseas recipients. If you do consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
If you consent to the disclosure of your personal information to overseas recipients, the department will not be required to take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipients do not breach the Privacy Act. This means that Australian Privacy Principle 8.1, as set out in the Privacy Act, will not apply to the disclosure of your personal information to the overseas recipients.
