Code of Conduct - public employee (Victoria)

This code of conduct describes the activities and standards expected from an employee of a public sector or semi-government organisation or NGO, TAFE or University, at the state level. It is a private declaration signed by a new employee at the moment of recruitment and is to be read in association with their contract of employment. This code of conduct is for an employee of an organisation bound principally by Victorian state law. Because public sector and semi-government employees operate in a clear legal framework, it derives its codes from such law as the

• Equal Opportunity Act 2010 (Vic.)

the Whistleblowers Protection Act 2000,

the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1985,

Human Rights And Equal Opportunity Commission Act 1986, the

• Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth)
• Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth)
