3. What is Personal Information?
“Personal information” means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. This may include name, contact details, medical or disability-related information, and financial information.

Direct Marketing
Good Housing may use personal information to keep individuals informed about our services, developments, or broader updates relevant to specialist disability accommodation — including changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). We will only do so where we have received express or implied consent, or where permitted by law. Communications may be sent through various channels such as email, SMS, phone calls, postal mail or social media.
Where individuals have agreed to receive updates from Good Housing, that consent remains active unless we are notified otherwise. Individuals can choose to opt out of these communications at any time, as outlined below.

Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
- We use tracking technologies on our website to improve user experience, deliver relevant content, and understand how our site is used.
