The Business Ethics and Conduct Manual helps organisations establish a culture of integrity and professionalism. It outlines the principles, values and behaviours expected from all workers, for a consistent and ethical workplace.

It covers the manager and worker code of conduct, dress code and image, internet use, anti-bribery and corruption, and modern slavery. It also sets out policies on anti-discrimination, bullying, domestic violence, violence in the workplace, sexual and gender-based harassment, and disciplinary action.

Appendices give you a worker acknowledgement form, an HR incident and investigation report form, a workplace violence risk assessment and a sexual and gender-based harassment risk assessment checklist. Document control registers and a review procedure keep the manual up to date.
