Privacy and confidentiality
Privacy and confidentiality were paramount considerations in the development of the survey.
The survey did not ask for any personal information that could be used to identify respondents.
Some demographic questions were asked to segment responses into groupings to help identify potential trends within segments of the workforce, such as the difference in trends between the coal mining, mineral mining and quarrying sectors. This data cannot be used to identify individual respondents or minority workgroups.
All free text responses were reviewed and de-identified to ensure they did not contain information that could be used to identify an individual.
All collected responses are stored securely in Australia, and the data provided was used only in agregate with the responses of all survey participants for reporting purposes.
The survey was carried out in compliance with the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld).
If you have any questions about survey privacy, or would like further information, please contact the commissioner’s office at commissioner@csh.qld.gov.au.
