Information on how to register for schools, early childhood centres or individual readers will be available in Term 2, 2025.
Consent and third party providers
The department, as the PRC organiser, often works with third party providers, which may involve disclosing personal information to those parties.
Due to the high volume of reader entrants in the PRC, the department utilises a third party organisation (Median Technologies Pty Ltd) to record participation and distribute certificates. Personal information required is school and centre staff names, their work email addresses and school or centre postal addresses. For individual reader registrants only: parent/carer names, email addresses, postal address and child's name are required in order to print and post certificates. This information will be stored securely.
This information is collected and disclosed to Median Technologies and held for a period of 1 year in their
online database which is based in Australia (using local Microsoft Azure Cloud Services). Any data held by Median Technologies is deleted within 1 year after the PRC is completed.
