Privacy policy
How Oversix collects, uses and protects your personal information.
At Oversix, your privacy matters. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with and how you can access or correct it, when you visit our website, use our services or contact us.
1. Who we are
Oversix — Skill Bridging Solution (ABN 72 595 798 462) is a business based in Perth, Western Australia. We help overseas-qualified tradespeople get their skills recognised in Australia, through skills assessment support (for example with Trades Recognition Australia and its approved training organisations), Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and career pathway guidance.
We are not registered migration agents. We do not give visa or immigration advice and we do not offer job placement.
In this policy, “Oversix”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Oversix — Skill Bridging Solution. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
2. What information we collect
Depending on how you deal with us, we may collect:
- Contact details: your name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number and postal address.
- Eligibility and profile details: your trade, years of experience, country of birth, where you trained and worked, whether you are in Australia or overseas, and your current visa subclass.
- Identity documents: your passport or other ID, and an ID photo when an application requires it.
- Evidence for your application: qualifications, transcripts, trade licences, your CV, employment history, payslips, employer references, tax and superannuation records, translations, and your Unique Student Identifier (USI) for RPL.
- Payment details: invoices and the bank transfer details needed to process your payments.

You can contact us without giving your name for general questions. To provide our services, we need to identify you.

We only share your information when it is needed to provide our services, or when the law requires it:
- Training organisations and assessing authorities handling your skills assessment or RPL (for example Trades Recognition Australia approved organisations and VETASSESS).
- Translators, when you ask us to arrange certified translations of your documents.

6. Storing your information outside Australia
Some of our service providers store or process data outside Australia, for example in the United States, Europe or other countries where they operate. When we use these providers, we take reasonable steps to make sure they protect your information in a way that is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
7. How we protect and keep your information
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, change or disclosure. Your documents are stored in our secure client portal and business systems, protected by passwords and access limited to our team.
We keep your information for as long as we need it to provide our services and to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations. When we no longer need it, we delete it or de-identify it.
