Consult Australia's Code of Ethics, along with the Code of Conduct and the Guide on Consult Australia Activities and Avoiding Anti-Competitive Behaviour sets out the behaviour
expected of Consult Australia members and their representatives. For our members the commitment to our Code of Ethics is integral to the values and culture of each and every business.
The commitment of Consult Australia members is an important point of difference that distinguishes the delivery of services relative to those provided by competitors that may not make this same commitment or lead collaboratively through Consult Australia
membership.
Code of Ethics
Consult Australia members commit to upholding standards underpinned by the principles outlined in our Code of Ethics.
Consult Australia members, when dealing with clients, the community, and other members, will uphold the standards expected of professional consultants, committing to three core principles:
- Collaboration – sharing ideas, skills, experience and building relationships to achieve shared goals.
- Fairness – treating everyone with respect, consistency and acting equitably.
- Integrity – acting honestly, authentically and being accountable.
Consult Australia’s Code of Ethics is to be read together with the Consult Australia Complaints & Disciplinary Procedures.
Members should promote commitment to our Code of Ethics:

productive participation by all participants in meetings and in the development of material. Individuals are also expected to actively encourage compliance with the Code of Conduct, by accepting and encouraging rapid actions to address poor, unacceptable,
or inappropriate behaviours and breaches of the Code of Conduct.
