Australian Privacy Principle 5 Notification

Only for use by Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care contributors, and for authors of regular surveillance reports wherein the copyright is contractually vested in the Department

Your personal information is protected by law, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and is being collected by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care (‘Department’) for the purposes of allowing us to publish reports to which you have contributed in the journal “Communicable Diseases Intelligence” (CDI).

The Department will disclose your name, affiliation (i.e., the government department, university, research institution or other organisation you represent for the purposes of preparing the article) and the CDI report you have prepared to Crossref, PubMed and Portico in the United States of America to facilitate cross referencing of CDI articles and reports.

You can get more information about the way in which the Department will manage your personal information, including our privacy policy, at http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/privacy-policy

Ordinarily the Department is required to comply with APP 8.1 by taking reasonable steps to ensure that when it discloses your personal information to overseas recipients, such as Crossref, Portico and PubMed, those organisations do not breach the APPs. However, the Department is not required to comply with APP 8.1 and you will not be able to seek a remedy under the Privacy Act 1988 if you consent to the Department’s disclosure of your personal information to Crossref, Portico and PubMed. This means the Department will not be responsible if those overseas recipients do an act that would otherwise breach the APPs.
