Quality is also assured through ACTT’s membership of the Australian Council for Private Education and Training (ACPET).
The College applies the same rigorous quality standards to its other short courses, and to the youth courses, so that students not only really enjoy their time on the course, they achieve real learning outcomes and can progress their learning to the next level of their course pathway.
Privacy Policy
Personal information provided by a client to a staff member of ACTT will be maintained in confidence and will not be released to anyone outside of ACTT without the client’s written authorisation. The only exceptions to these procedures are those required by law. In these circumstances information may have to be released without the client’s consent. This would only occur in a situation where ACTT is ethically and legally responsible to report the situation to appropriate people. Such situations are rare, but would include:
•Cases involving child abuse or adult abuse in circumstances
where there is a court order
•Cases where records of ACTT are subpoenaed by a court of law
•Cases where there is evidence that the client is a danger to himself/herself or others
In a situation where ACTT believes that it is in the client’s best interests that the client have contact with other treating professionals, e.g. a doctor or psychologist, the client will be asked to sign a Permission to Release and Obtain Information Form. If authorised, ACTT will discuss issues relevant to the client’s disability and the impact on study with other professionals in order to best serve the clients interests. Clients should also note that information regarding their circumstances may be routinely shared between departments of ACTT for case consultation.
