When this collection notice applies
This privacy notice applies when you create an account as a Government Provider Management System (GPMS) user, or when an Organisational Administrator at your organisation creates an account for you. It also applies when you use your GPMS account.
This collection notice does not apply to the personal information you or someone in your organisation discloses to the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (Commission) using features within GPMS.
When you provide information to the Commission within GPMS, you will receive a separate notice at the time of collection.

Why we collect this information
We collect most of the information listed above so that we can contact you, administer your GPMS user account, and understand your role within your organisation (or across multiple organisations).

We collect audit logs of activity within GPMS to identify inappropriate or unauthorised use or disclosure of personal information.

- When you use your GPMS account, via audit logging.
When an Organisational Administrator creates an account for you, they:
- are bound by the GPMS terms of use
- must have your consent to provide us with your information.
