Code of Ethics and Practice

The Code of Ethics and Practice contains the standards of ethics, practice and conduct which COSRT expects of its Members. 

All COSRT Members must act in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Practice to ensure appropriate standards of conduct are upheld.  Members commit to complying with the Code when they join COSRT or renew their membership.

The Code of Ethics and Practice applies to conduct within all professional contexts.  It also applies outside a professional context where there is a relevant connection to the profession, or the conduct could harm the reputation of, or trust and confidence in, COSRT or the professions it serves.

Should a complaint be made against a Member, it will be judged against these standards under the Conduct Procedure in place at the time.

The specific clauses that comprise the Code are split into the following key sections:

• Prioritising People.
• Skills and Knowledge.
• Safety and Quality.
• Integrity.
