Privacy

We collect very little, and we tell you exactly what and why. Here it is in plain words.

The short version

You do not need an account to use this site, and there are no forms to fill in. We use Google Analytics to count visits and a Meta (Facebook) pixel to measure how our advertising performs. We collect no names or contact details unless you email us, and we do not sell your information.

What we collect

From your visitThe pages you view, when, what kind of device and browser you use, how you arrived, and roughly where you are (city level), worked out from your IP address.
From our hostOur web host's servers record your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time, for security and fixing faults.
From you, by emailYour email address and what you write, if you contact us. We use it to reply and to check the page or number you ask about.
From searchThe words you type into search are matched in your browser. See Search on this site below.

Analytics: Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to see which pages are read and how people find us. It uses cookies to tell one browser from another, so a repeat visit is counted once. By default, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses: it uses the address briefly to work out roughly where a visit comes from, then discards it. The reports we see are summaries, not profiles of named people.

Google processes this data for us and may do so outside Australia. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Advertising measurement: the Meta pixel

We use the Meta pixel, a small piece of code from Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram), to measure how our advertising performs. When you view a page, the pixel can send Meta the address of the page, what you did on it and a cookie identifier. If you have a Facebook or Instagram account and are logged in, Meta may link the visit to your account under its own policy and may use it to decide which ads you see. We use the pixel to measure results. We do not send Meta your name or email address.

Read Meta's privacy policy for how it handles that information.

Cookies

This site does not set cookies of its own for visitors. The cookies below come from the analytics and advertising tools described above. You can block or delete them in your browser and the site will still work.

_ga and _ga_ followed by an IDGoogle Analytics. Tells browsers apart so visits are counted once. Lasts up to about two years.
_fbpMeta pixel. Identifies your browser for advertising measurement. Lasts about three months.
_fbcMeta pixel. Set only if you arrive from a Meta ad. Records which ad click brought you here.

Search on this site

Search runs in your browser. The list of careers, occupations and courses is downloaded once, and what you type is matched against it on your own device. We do not receive the words you type while the suggestions appear.

When you press Enter or the Search button, you go to a results page whose web address includes your search words. Our analytics may record that address, so those words can appear in our reports. They describe careers and courses, not you, but please do not type personal details into search.

Server logs and hosting

This site is hosted by Hostinger. Its servers record technical details of each request, such as the IP address, browser type, pages requested and the date and time. Our host keeps these logs for a limited period under its own policy.

Email you send us

If you email us, we receive your email address and your message. We use them to reply and, where you report a mistake, to check it against the source. Please do not send sensitive information such as health details. Tell us the page and the number you are asking about and we can usually answer.

Links to other sites

Some links leave this site: provider websites, job searches on SEEK and official sources such as training.gov.au. Once you click, that site's own privacy policy applies, not ours.

Where your information goes

Google and Meta run their services from several countries, including the United States, so information collected by their tools may be processed overseas. We choose well-known providers that publish their privacy commitments, and we send them only what the tools above collect.

How to opt out

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. To stop Google Analytics measuring your visits on any site, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. To limit advertising measurement, turn off ad personalisation in your Facebook or Instagram settings and use your browser's tracking protection.

Your rights

We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or make a complaint, by emailing us at the address on our Contact page. We aim to reply within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
