Some basics… Decide what information your school needs Ensure relevant privacy (Collection Notice) Link to any census requirements (ATSI, Nationality and Visa, etc.) Consider any marketing information required Raft of information needed by the school and by statute ACS Leaders Retreat Coolum 25-27 July 2012
  6. Statute and Prudence “Gilding the lily” Prospectus and advertising Be careful of saying various (curriculum) outcomes will occur for each and every student Better to say “Opportunity exits for” or “may” Be careful about “inclusiveness” in any claims ACS Leaders Retreat Coolum 25-27 July 2012
  7. Australian Consumer Law (ACL) Effective 01 July 2010 Not may legal cases involving non-state school contracts prior to that date Now ACCC will take action against companies at no cost to the consumer. Reverse onus of proof No unfair terms ACS Leaders Retreat Coolum 25-27 July 2012
