Your privacy and confidentiality will
always be respected. Whatever information about
yourself and your circumstances will only be
available to the Facilitator and given to
another person, organisation or network only
with your explicit permission.
There are a couple of exceptions to this
rule:
- If it is essential for your own or
another person's safety or;
- If we are legally obliged to do so (such
as in the case of a subpoena from the
Courts)
then in either of these cases, your consent
is not required. The circumstances where the
above exceptions would apply are very rare.
If you have any questions about the above
please discuss them with Craig (craig@ftmaustralia.org).
Examples where these
guidelines apply
Newsletter
publication - Website - Email
Addresses
- Surnames are never printed in the
newsletter, on the website or any other
print, audio or internet media without your
explicit request.
- Individuals sign an agreement to have
place photos or images of themselves posted
on the website and waiver any consequences,
which may arise from this in accord. They
also keep the right to remove them at any
time upon notifying the webmanager;
- Member's e-mail address are never
disclosed to any other person without
explicit permission;
- Your e-mail address will only be used for
the purpose for which you have provided it

Guidelines
- FTM Australia will not reveal,
record, sell or otherwise transfer to any
person or entity any information belonging to
members of FTMA.
- FTM Australia will not disclose
any personal or confidential information
pertaining to another member of FTMA without
the specific consent of the person concerned,
subject to any legal obligation to disclose
such information.
Attention is drawn to Section 17 of the
Public Health Act 1991 (NSW) which
provides that: a person who, in the course of
providing a service, acquires information that
another person
(a) has been, or is required to be, or is to
be tested for HIV; or
(b) is, or has been, infected with HIV,
must take all reasonable steps to prevent
disclosure of this information. Breech of this
provision is a criminal offence punishable by a
fine of up to $5500.
