This Code articulates the standards of conduct that Tribunal members have committed to uphold and are therefore expected to demonstrate.
The Code of Ethics and Conduct provides an ethical framework for decisions, actions and behaviours as an employee of IPART, and is part of every employee’s employment contract.
This policy sets standards and provides guidance on how to manage a conflict of interest in an ethical manner. We are committed to preventing adverse consequences that can arise from a conflict of interest, as well as the appearance of favouritism, undue influence or impropriety.
This policy sets out when it is appropriate and inappropriate to give or receive a gift or benefit, and the actions that should be taken if offered a gift or benefit.
