CPA also collects, at your option, diversity details such as gender and diversity information.

We generally collect personal information directly from you:
Where it is not practicable to collect personal information from you, we may also collect personal information from publicly available sources of information, and, where you have provided your consent, from third parties such as professional and personal referees (or the organisations they represent) you have supplied to us, recruitment agencies or other third parties assisting us with
the recruitment of the position you are applying for and service providers that facilitate essential pre-employment checks that CPA requires as part of the recruitment process including fit2work Australia, Xref and FPES Australia.
Your referees may provide us with information about you on a confidential basis. If they do, we will not share this information with you without the referee’s consent.
If you do not provide us with the personal information we have requested, we may not be able to assess your application for employment.
We may disclose your personal information to our related companies, your referees, contractors providing services to us and to other third-party service providers (such as background screening service providers) we use in conducting our business. Some of these third parties may be located overseas if you have asked us to contact an overseas referee, or if we request an international criminal records check.
Our third-party service providers may store personal information overseas when providing services. You should refer to the third-party service provider’s privacy policy for more details.
We may also disclose your personal information where we are required or authorised by Australian law to do so, such as child protection laws.
