HSTAC Privacy Information
The Human Services Training Advisory Council has long recognised that individuals with whom we conduct business value their privacy. However, in order to conduct business, the collection of personal information is often necessary and desirable. It is the Human Services Training Advisory Council's goal to balance the benefits of a transparent process with the right of individuals to prevent the misuse of their personal information.
