Type of Personal Information Held ▼

Personal and sensitive information collected by Staff Dynamics Pty Ltd includes, but is not limited to:
Information provided by you:
• Name, date of birth, your Employer and the location that you are working at;
• Medications (prescribed or not prescribed) which you might provide;
• We may also request to sight a form of photo identification to verify your identity (such as a drivers licence – information contained on this identification would not be stored);
Information provided by a third party:
• Information in relation to incidents in the workplace where we have been requested to provide services following such an incident;

How your information is collected ▼

Personal and sensitive information is collected directly from you when you complete any of our forms including drug & alcohol testing forms (“Drug & Alcohol Test – Chain of Custody Form”) in addition to any associated documentation (such as separate Medication Declaration forms and notes taken in a diary).
Personal and sensitive information will also be collected when:
• we receive any complaint from or about you as part of the conduct of our duties;
• we receive any information about a workplace accident in which you are involved;
• we receive any information about any insurance investigation, litigation, registration or professional disciplinary matter, criminal matter, inquest or inquiry in which you are involved; or
• you provide us with any additional information about yourself.

Purposes for which we hold personal information ▼

We primarily hold your personal information to conduct the specific tasks in which we are engaged (which can include the conduct of drug & alcohol testing or provision of testing equipment). This can involve communicating/ forwarding that information (together with samples provided) to a nominated Laboratory who may be required to analyse results from screening tests conducted by our company. Due care would be taken to protect this sensitive information (by both Staff Dynamics and the Laboratory). This information is also recorded in an electronic database held by our company; however access to this database is restricted (through password protection) to selected employees of Staff Dynamics Pty Ltd. This database produces reports which are password protected and are used for statistical analysis and reporting to the organisation that has engaged our services for the specific tasks conducted.

If you do not give us the information we seek ▼

 We may be limited in our ability to conduct our duties and accordingly we would need to communicate this to the nominated supervisor (or company representative) to whom we report (and/or the relevant available manager).

Disclosure ▼

We may disclose your personal and sensitive information to your employer (and/ or host company in the event that you are a contractor) including the results from any initial screening works and/or laboratory testing for the purpose for which it is primarily held.
We will not otherwise disclose any of your personal information without your consent except where we are under a legal duty to do so, including circumstances where we are under a lawful duty of care to disclose information.

Contractors ▼

We contract out a number of services from time to time. Our contractors may see some of your personal information. Typically, our contractors would include Information Technology support technicians and database designers.

Access ▼

Subject to some exemptions that are set out in the National Privacy Principles, you can gain access to the personal information that we hold about you.

We do refuse access if it would interfere with the privacy rights of other persons or if it breaches any confidentiality that attaches to that information. We make every effort to keep any personal information up to date and accurate. If you require access to any personal information that we hold on you, wish to notify us of any change, modification or correction or would like us to delete your personal information from our records, please contact our Privacy Officer on 07 3286 9063 or email to privacyofficer@drugtest.com.au.

You will need to be in a position to verify your identity and we might impose a moderate charge in providing access. Our Privacy Officer will discuss this with you. You should also anticipate that it may take a little time to process your application for access as there may be a need to retrieve information from storage and review information in order to determine what information may be provided.
