The Ethics Council is an oversight and advisory body to the National Board and CEO on matters of best practice, integrity and transparency. It monitors, reviews and advises the National Board on the conduct of elections and other matters. It also acts as an external body that can investigate breaches or complaints. Ethics Council members may attend meetings of the membership and the National Congress but do not vote.
Having an independent Ethics Council built in to its structure, situates Congress as a unique organisation at the cutting edge of Australian best practice in the area of corporate ethical conduct.
REQUIREMENT TO DISCLOSE: It is a requirement that all Delegates, Staff and Directors of the company must, as a matter of practice, declare any investigations or other matters which may be viewed as having the potential to bring the Congress into disrepute, whether substantiated or not, to the CEO.
