- website

- publications/brochures/other written material
- presentations

Personal information will also be handled in accordance with the department’s information privacy policy.
Personal information includes images which can identify an individual.
Collection, use, disclosure and storage of images
With consent, the department will access the images you provide as part of your final report for the purposes of promoting the grant program and the work of the Victorian Government.

Such initiatives may involve the disclosure of the images to third party service providers, media outlets and other Victorian or Local Government entities and community partners to produce, publish and distribute materials containing the images.
