The NSW TAFE Commission collects personal information concerning students during their enrolment at TAFE NSW including, but not limited to, their attendance, participation and academic progress. The information collected by TAFE NSW throughout a student's enrolment (collectively ’the information’) will be used by TAFE NSW or other authorised organisations for the purposes of general student administration, identification, communication, state and national reporting, program monitoring and evaluation.

Student information will be held securely and disposed of securely when no longer needed.

The information may be disclosed to Centrelink, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, the Universities Admissions Centre, Office of the Board of Studies and the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) and/or an agency authorised to undertake surveys. In order to meet the requirements of Registered Training Organisations under the Apprenticeships and Traineeships Act 2001, apprentice and trainee information is provided to employers, Australian Apprenticeship Centres and State Training Services (or relevant State Training Authorities). State-wide and regional statistics derived from information provided by all students will also be provided to the Commonwealth.

While the provision of this information is not mandatory under legislation, it is a requirement of TAFE NSW that this information be provided in order for your enrolment to be accepted. This is to assist TAFE NSW in recording enrolments for certain target groups for which funding is provided for student services. Without that funding, TAFE NSW would be unable to continue providing training and services at current levels. You may correct personal details provided by contacting your TAFE NSW campus administration or by using TAFE NSW Student e-Services.
