Frequently asked questions

The Code of Conduct Policy provides organizations with a framework to promote ethical behaviour, integrity and accountability in the workplace. It covers issues such as conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, confidentiality, fair dealing, use of company assets and human rights obligations. The policy applies to all employees, contractors, officers and representatives and reinforces compliance with Australian laws, including the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), Work Health and Safety Acts, Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth). This template helps organizations foster a respectful workplace culture, reduce risk, and manage misconduct effectively.
This policy is prepared by employers, HR managers or legal advisors and must be tailored to reflect the organisation’s values, industry obligations and risk environment. Employees are required to review and acknowledge the policy as part of their workplace responsibilities.
The completed policy should be distributed to all employees and included in induction training. Organizations should keep a record of distribution and ensure the policy is easily accessible, such as in employee handbooks or through the company website, as part of their compliance framework.
