Vision's Policies
On this page you can find all of Vision’s published policies. These policies maybe updated from time to time, so please refer back to this page to ensure you are aware of the current policies
Codes of Practice
Vision Christian Radio utilises broadcasting licences that are subject to Codes of Practice registered with the Australian Communications and Media Authority. The codes cover material broadcast, the classification of programs, customer service standards, complaints procedures, and more.
- Our FM and AM broadcasts utilise Open Narrowcast licences which are subject to the Open Narrowcasting Codes of Practice which you can access here.
- Our DAB+ broadcasts utilise commercial licences and are therefore subject to the Commercial Radio Codes of Practice which you can access here.
- You can also read more about the rules and codes broadcasters must abide by at the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) website.
We work to abide by the codes at all times. However, if you are concerned that we may have breached a code, the codes state that you must first address your complaint us in writing and we will also respond in writing according to the timeframes and standards outlined in the codes. If you are not satisfied with our response, you then have the option to refer the matter to the ACMA. When writing to us, please include sufficient detail so as to enable us to identify the item broadcast, (eg date, time, a description of the material, name of the program and/or name of the presenter, etc), along with the nature of your concern and the location and frequency of the Vision broadcast service you were listening to.
Content you may have accessed through other means such as satellite channels, online-only streams, social media and podcasts are not specifically subject to these codes, however we welcome your feedback about them too, and will respond to any substantive complaint.
Written complaints may be submitted by post or through our electronic contact form – and of course if you have a compliment or other feedback, we want to hear that too! You’ll find our contact details and forms here.

Complaints Policy
We want to resolve it.
We’re pleased to say that we don’t receive a lot of complaints. However if there is something you’d like to raise with us, we would like to know. Our process for dealing with complaints is outlined below, however first and foremost our ministry is based on the Biblical model for resolving issues.
The Apostle Paul gave some very wise instruction when he said these words…
‘If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.’ Romans 12:18 NKJV
If you wish to to make a comment or complaint about something you heard, read or saw in one of our media products, we want to assure you that we want to hear from you so we have the opportunity to answer your enquiry.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Vision Christian Radio and Vision180 Radio abide by the Open Narrowcast Radio Codes of Practice registered with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). These Codes of Practice outline the correct procedure for both you and us in registering and dealing with your complaint.
- If your complaint is about something you have read in The Word for Today, Vision180 magazine or to do with Vision Christian Prayer, then the following guidelines still apply (even though they are not covered under the Codes of Practice).
Your complaint should in the first instance be made directly to us. Please use the form below, or you can also mail or phone us.
Make a Complaint
Please be assured that we will make every reasonable effort to resolve your genuine complaint in a courteous and timely manner.
If possible (and if you phone us) we will attempt to deal with your complaint during the course of your call. However, if that is not possible, you may be asked to make your complaint in writing.
The ANRA Codes of Practice require us to acknowledge all written complaints in writing within fifteen days from when we receive the complaint. We then have another fifteen days to respond to the complaint with a comprehensive answer. (We usually respond a lot quicker than this.) If you don’t receive a response from us within sixty days or, you are not satisfied with the response we have given to your written complaint, you then have the option of referring your (radio-related) complaint to the ACMA.
Finally, we’d also love to hear from you if you have a compliment too 🙂

Privacy Policy
United Christian Broadcasters Australia Limited (“Vision” or “we”) is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of individuals and organisations whose personal information we collect and hold.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Who is covered by this policy?
This policy applies to personal information we collect about:
- supporters, donors, listeners and website visitors
- people who contact Vision, including through prayer requests, calls, emails, and online forms
- participants in Vision events, programs, or campaigns
- employees, contractors, volunteers, and applicants
- suppliers and service providers
The types of Personal Information we collect:
The types of personal information we collect depend on how individuals or organisations interact with Vision and may include:

Supporter and donor information

Prayer and pastoral interactions
We may collect personal information provided during prayer calls, prayer requests, or customer service interactions. This information may be shared voluntarily and may include sensitive personal details, such as health and medical conditions, information about family members or financial information.
Sensitive information
In some circumstances, Vision may collect sensitive information, as defined under the Privacy Act. This may include information about an individual:
- religious beliefs
- health information
- information shared in prayer requests or customer service communications
Vision only collects sensitive information where permitted by law and where reasonably necessary to support Vision’s function and activities.
Where required, Vision collects sensitive information with the individual’s consent, which may be directly or indirectly communicated depending on the circumstances (for example, where an individual voluntarily provides information in a prayer request conversation or Customer Service communication).
Sensitive information is handled with additional care and is used and disclosed only for the purpose for which it was provided, or as otherwise permitted by law. Individuals may withdraw their consent at any time by contacting Vision, subject to legal or operational requirements.
Employment and volunteer information

In some cases, we may also collect information from third‑party platforms or service providers used to support our operations.
Unsolicited Personal Information
Vision may receive personal information that we have not requested or taken active steps to collect. This can occur, for example, when an individual shares information about a third party during a prayer call, a supporter provides details about a family member, or personal information is included in correspondence that goes beyond what Vision has asked for.
Where this occurs, Vision will assess whether the information is of a kind we would have been permitted to collect in the ordinary course of our activities. If so, the information will be managed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If the information is not of a kind we would ordinarily be permitted to collect, and it is lawful and reasonable to do so, Vision will take steps to destroy or de-identify that information as soon as practicable.
Why do we collect and use Personal Information?
We collect and use personal information to:
- provide ministry, broadcasting, and supporter services
- respond to enquiries, prayer requests, and communications

- maintain supporter relationships and engagement
- operate and improve our websites and digital platforms

- improving services through quality improvement activities
- providing individuals and organisations with information, news and surveys
- processing payments, including donations
- communicating important service-related announcements, changes to Vision services or policies, or password notifications
- providing information about the TWFT individuals and organisations have signed up to receive

- ensure personal information is accurate, up to date and complete, and (in the case of use and disclosure) relevant
- protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, destruction, modification or disclosure
- destroy or permanently de-identify personal information that is no longer needed. (However, we will keep information for a longer period where necessary to comply with contractual, regulatory or legal requirements.)
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to:
- service providers who assist us with IT systems, communications, fundraising, analytics, or payment processing
- professional advisers (such as auditors, insurers, and legal advisers)
- government authorities where required or authorised by law
We take reasonable steps to ensure third parties manage personal information in a manner consistent with this policy and applicable privacy laws.
Anonymous or Pseudonym
Individuals interacting with Vision have the option to deal anonymously or by a pseudonym. There may be situations where this is not possible, for example, making a tax-deductible donation to Vision requires Vision to collect certain information to comply with tax legislation. Other interactions with Vision do not require Vision to collect personal information, and individuals may use a pseudonym, such as requesting The Word for Today, or anonymously through the Vision prayer line.
Third Party Service Providers & Overseas Disclosure
Vision uses third‑party service providers to support operations and deliver services. These providers may assist with functions such as website security (including Google reCAPTCHA), cloud hosting, information technology support, communications, analytics, customer relationship management, payment processing, fundraising, and human resources systems.
In providing these services, personal information may be stored, processed, or accessed outside Australia, or disclosed to overseas recipients. The countries in which personal information is most commonly handled include:
- United States
- New Zealand
- United Kingdom
- Ireland
- Singapore
Some overseas service providers host information on servers located outside Australia, while others may access information remotely from overseas locations to provide technical support, security, or system administration services.
Before disclosing personal information overseas, Vision takes reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients handle personal information in a manner consistent with Australian privacy standards, unless an exception under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) applies.
Where required or appropriate, Vision relies on contractual arrangements, vendor due diligence, and organisational controls to protect personal information that is handled overseas.
Direct Marketing
Vision may send fundraising and ministry communications by email, SMS, post, phone, or other channels where permitted by law and consistent with your preferences.
Individuals and Organisations can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe facility provided or by contacting Vision directly.
Vision will never disclose or sell personal information to any third party for the purposes of direct marketing.
Use of Cookies / Tracking
Vision’s websites and digital platforms use cookies and similar technologies to operate effectively, remember user preferences, measure audience engagement, and improve our services.
These technologies may collect information such as IP address, device type, browser information, pages visited, and interactions with our digital content. Some cookies and tracking technologies are provided by third‑party service providers, such as analytics and security providers.
Vision uses:
- Essential cookies required for website functionality and security
- Analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our websites and digital services
We do not use cookies or tracking technologies to sell personal information or to serve third‑party advertising. Individuals can manage or disable cookies through their browser settings.
Data Security
Vision takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
This includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold.
Data Retention and Destruction
Vision retains personal information only for as long as it is required for lawful, operational, and ministry purposes.
When personal information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de‑identify it, unless we are required by law to retain it.
Notifiable Data Breaches
Vision has processes in place to respond to suspected data breaches.
If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm, Vision will comply with its obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme, including notifying affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) where required.
Access and Correction
Individuals and authorised organisation contacts may request access to personal information we hold about them and request correction if it is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete.
Requests can be made by contacting Vision using the details below. Vision will need to verify the identity of the person requesting the information or correction before responding.
Vision is required to respond to requests within a reasonable period after the request is made, generally not exceeding 30 calendar days.
There is no fee for making an access or correction request. In some cases, Vision may charge reasonable costs of giving access (for example, copying or postage). If a charge applies, Vision will advise the person requesting the information in advance and ensure it is not excessive and does not deter access requests.
Complaints
If anyone has a concern about how Vision has handled their personal information, they may contact Vision to lodge a complaint.
Vision will investigate and respond to complaints within a reasonable timeframe.
Any individuals or organisations not satisfied with Vision’s response may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at https://www.oaic.gov.au or via post to:
- The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)
GPO Box 5288, Sydney NSW 2001, Australia.
Automated Decision Making
Vision does not currently use computer programs to make decisions that have a legal or similarly significant effect on individuals without human involvement.
If, in the future, Vision uses computer programs to make, or substantially support, decisions that could reasonably be expected to significantly affect an individual’s rights or interests, Vision will disclose, in this Privacy Policy:
- the kinds of personal information used in the operation of those computer programs; and
- the kinds of decisions made, or substantially supported, using automated decision‑making,
as required by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Children’s Privacy & Online Safety
Vision recognises that children and young people require additional protection when their personal information is collected and handled, particularly in online environments.
Where Vision collects personal information from, or in relation to, individuals under the age of 18, Vision will work to the following:
Best interests of the child
Ensure that the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is consistent with the best interests of the child, having regard to their safety, well-being, and rights.
Data minimisation
Only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary (and, where applicable, strictly necessary) for Vision’s functions and activities, particularly in relation to online services and digital platforms.
Parental or guardian involvement
Where appropriate, and having regard to the age and capacity of the individual, Vision will:
- seek consent from a parent or legal guardian before collecting or using personal information; and
- take reasonable steps to verify that consent has been provided by an authorised person.
Age-appropriate communication
Take reasonable steps to ensure that privacy notices, requests for consent, and explanations about how personal information is handled are provided in a clear, accessible, and age-appropriate manner.
Online tracking and technologies
Where Vision uses cookies, analytics, or similar technologies on services likely to be accessed by children, Vision will:
- limit tracking to what is necessary for functionality, security, or service improvement; and
- avoid practices that may be considered intrusive or inconsistent with the best interests of children.
Security and retention
Apply enhanced safeguards to personal information relating to children, including limiting retention periods and ensuring secure handling.
Identification of age
Vision does not routinely verify the age of individuals interacting with its services, including those contacting Vision through prayer lines, customer service channels, or other pastoral or ministry interactions. As a result, Vision may not always be able to determine whether an individual is a child at the time personal information is collected.
Where Vision becomes aware, or reasonably suspects, that it is dealing with a child, Vision will take reasonable steps to apply additional safeguards consistent with this policy, including seeking parental or guardian involvement where appropriate.
Continuous Improvement & regulatory alignment
Vision will monitor developments in privacy law and regulatory guidance and will review and update its practices to align with applicable requirements, including the Children’s Online Privacy Code under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
