Terms of Service

Last updated: 14 October 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of plannedresources.com.au (the “Website”), operated by Planned Resources (“Planned Resources”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.

1. About Us

Planned Resources is a specialist recruitment agency based in Melbourne. We connect candidates with employers across planning, urban design, engineering, architecture, surveying, property and government sectors throughout Australia.

The Website provides information about our services, advertises job vacancies, and allows candidates and employers to contact us, submit CVs and register vacancies.

2. Using the Website

You may use the Website for lawful purposes only. When using the Website, you must not:

• use the Website in a way that breaches any applicable law or regulation;
• submit information that is false, misleading or belongs to another person without their consent;
• upload files that contain viruses, malware or other harmful code;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its server or any connected database;
• use automated tools to scrape, copy or collect content or job listings from the Website without our written permission; or
• interfere with the security or proper operation of the Website, including our forms and spam protection.

We may suspend or restrict access to the Website, or remove any content you submit, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.

3. Job Listings

Job vacancies on the Website are advertised on behalf of our clients. We take care to ensure listings are accurate and current, but details such as salary, location, duties and availability are provided by our clients and may change without notice.

• A job listing is an invitation to apply. It is not an offer of employment.
• Roles may be filled, withdrawn or changed at any time, including before a listing is removed from the Website.
• Any offer of employment or engagement is made by the employer or by Planned Resources directly, and is subject to its own terms.

4. Candidates

If you submit your CV or personal details through the Website, you confirm that:

• the information you provide is true, accurate and up to date;
• you are entitled to provide any information about other people, such as referees; and
• you consent to us using your information to assess your suitability for roles and to contact you about employment opportunities.

We will not submit your details to an employer for a specific role without first discussing it with you, unless you have agreed otherwise. We handle all personal information in line with our Privacy Policy and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Submitting your details does not guarantee that we will represent you, place you in a role, or contact you about any particular vacancy.

5. Employers

Registering a vacancy or making an enquiry through the Website does not create a recruitment agreement. Our recruitment services are provided under our separate terms of business, which we will provide before any engagement begins. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and our terms of business, our terms of business apply to the services we provide.

Candidate information we share with you is provided in confidence for the purpose of filling the relevant role. It must not be shared with third parties or used for any other purpose.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on the Website, including text, graphics, logos, images, articles and the design of the Website, is owned by or licensed to Planned Resources and is protected by Australian and international copyright and trade mark laws.

You may view, download and print content from the Website for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify or commercially exploit any content without our prior written permission.

7. Information on the Website

The articles, market insights, salary information and career advice on the Website are general in nature. They are provided for information only and do not take your personal circumstances into account. You should seek professional advice before making decisions based on that information.

While we aim to keep the Website accurate and up to date, we do not guarantee that its content is complete, current or free from errors, or that the Website will be available without interruption.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Website may contain links to, or content from, third-party websites and services, such as LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Google Maps and government procurement platforms. These are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices or availability of third-party websites. Your use of them is subject to their own terms.

9. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded. Where our liability for a breach of a non-excludable guarantee can be limited, it is limited, at our option, to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Planned Resources is not liable for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from:

• your use of, or inability to use, the Website;
• reliance on any information on the Website, including job listings and general advice;
• any decision made by an employer or candidate in connection with a role advertised on the Website; or
• viruses or other harmful material transmitted through the Website or any linked website.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Planned Resources against any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable legal costs, arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Website, except to the extent caused by our own negligence or wrongdoing.

12. Privacy and Cookies

We collect and handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Please read our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use and protect your information, and our Cookies Policy to understand how we use cookies on the Website.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will apply from the date they are published on the Website, as shown by the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Website after that date means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. You agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and any courts that may hear appeals from those courts.

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be severed and the remaining Terms will continue to apply.
