Parenting Orders and Disputes Involving Parental Responsibility
Catholic schools must strive to support students and families through any difficult times such as family separation, divorce and remarriage. We provide information to help schools understand their role and how to manage disputes between parents about the care and responsibility of their children.
Responding to a Subpoena
Schools and school employees are often served with subpoenas to either produce documents and/or give evidence. Learn about what a subpoena is, how to respond and the payment of conduct money.
Visas
Schools will often receive enrolment applications from students who are in Australia on visas. We provide information on the types of visas that students may be on, and how students on visas are reported, which can impact whether a student is eligible for recurrent funding or may need to pay full fees.
Privacy
Schools collect and handle significant personal information about students, their parents, and other parties, including sensitive personal information such as health information. We provide information on the laws that regulate the handling of personal information, and what happens when there is a data breach involving personal information.
Sharing of Photographs and Videos
The everyday activities of schools often involve taking and using photos and videos of students and the school community. We provide information on how schools should manage the collection of personal information through photos and videos and how these can be used.
