    Usually the Banks just ask for confirmation that you do actually work there and also if Full time, Part time or Casual and also for how long

    With the Privacy Act they can't ask for salary details (which is verified by the payslips that you'll need to provide) or if there are any 'performance issues' although they may ask if overtime is regular or only when required (some jobs have regular O/T of 4-5 hrs per week etc)

    I just asked the payroll lady and she stated they do ask the annual income, Or they read it of the payslip and ask if she agrees with that. I also thought they not allowed to ask salary

    Of course the can ask salary. The privacy statements allows them to collect any information to assist with assessing the application. it is a breach of the privacy laws only if they ask non-related information.
