Arts Queensland Code of Conduct

Our professionalism and high standards of ethical conduct are shown in all our work activities and are supported in this Code of Conduct by a clear statement of what is expected of us and how we should behave and perform our work. Because of the distinctive work of Arts Queensland, this agency within our Department has developed its own Code of Conduct. The Department's Code of Conduct also responds to Queensland's Public Service Charter. The charter is a statement of our commitment to the people of Queensland, their elected representatives and our colleagues for the way in which we undertake our responsibilities. The charter outlines: Our commitment to the Government to provide objective, impartial advice and to carry out their decisions faithfully;  Our commitment to the people of Queensland to engage with them in developing solutions to their issues and make it easier for them to do business with us; and Our commitment to a professional public service to work as one integrated service and understand that our actions and behaviour foster public trust and confidence in the Queensland Public Service. This Code of Conduct for education and training staff helps us deliver on these commitments. It provides advice and guidance for employees in making wise and ethical decisions, especially in circumstances where the 'correct' or 'best' course of action may not be clear. I encourage all employees to read this code and to develop a clear understanding of the ethical principles, obligations and standards that support our daily work in the Department.
