MEMO TO CEO
All staff should behave with integrity, honesty and fairness in all business, professional and personal
relationships.
Staff should not knowingly or recklessly supply any information which is confidential, or make any
statement which they know is misleading, false or deceptive to a colleague, client of the Boutique Build
Australia, or the general public.
While Boutique Build Australia staff must observe the terms and conditions of their employment, staff
cannot be required to be complicit in any illegal act. If advised, instructed or encouraged to engage in
unlawful activity, they must decline, and report the matter to a line manager.
Conflicts of interest
Boutique Build Australia staff should both be and appear to be free of any interest (financial or otherwise)
which might be regarded as being in conflict or incompatible with their integrity and objectivity.
Independence is the cornerstone of objectivity. Both external and internal parties have a need for
credibility of information and action in relation to Boutique Build Australia activities. Boutique Build
Australia management at all substantive levels seeks credibility and accountability in information and in
the activities of all of its staff. Boutique Build Australia management must be careful to apply an attitude
of professionalism within the bounds of commercial confidentiality, and should remain independent in fact
as well as independent in appearance.
Accordingly, Boutique Build Australia staff should recognise and avoid situations which may affect their
integrity and objectivity by:
being cautious of undue benefits or preferential treatment received in the course of their
employment. Such benefits may cloud their judgement or objectivity
ensuring Boutique Build Australia facilities or property, information or resources are used in the best
interests of the Boutique Build Australia community
guarding against conflicts of interest arising from inappropriate financial involvement and personal
relationships.
Staff should be free of any interests, financial or otherwise, that may conflict with their integrity and
objectivity.
Independence and objectivity are crucial for maintaining credibility in Boutique Build Australia's
activities.
The interests of the Boutique Build Australia and the broader community
Boutique Build Australia staff comprises a diverse population of individuals with differing roles and
functions, ethnic and cultural backgrounds and differential and sometimes complex relationships within
the community. For such a community to function fairly and effectively, due regard must be given to
behaviour which recognises the dignity and privacy of individuals, enhances fair dealing and
representation both in action and perception.
The effective functioning of Boutique Build Australia depends on the mutual respect required of
individuals co-existing within that diverse community and with its broad clientele, together with the pursuit
of an environment characterised by co-operation, collegiality, impartiality, equity, and financial
responsibility.
Individuals must therefore be accountable for their actions both in a social and financial sense by clearly
establishing their own personal standards and those of the staff for whom they are responsible and being
aware of how these standards may conflict with tasks they ask others (or themselves are asked) to do.
This should be in consonance with the Boutique Build Australia's strategic intentions, recognising that the
Boutique Build Australia has a responsibility both to its stakeholders and the broader community.
Confidentiality
Boutique Build Australia staff must protect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their
work. No staff member should use or disclose any confidential information to a colleague, client of the
Boutique Build Australia or any other party without specific authority or unless such use or disclosure is:
Staff may acquire confidential information in the course of their employment. This may take the form of
confidential information about staff, customers, suppliers or other information intended to be confidential.
It is important that this information should not be disclosed to third parties except when consent has been
obtained from the Boutique Build Australia or with the consent of the other party, when there is a duty to
disclose.
Staff members should discuss the matter fully with their immediate superior if they are in doubt as to
whether there exists a right or duty to disclose confidential information. If the problem cannot be resolved
by this action, they should consult an appropriate higher authority within the Boutique Build Australia,
and/or the Boutique Build Australia's legal advisors.
Boutique Build Australia staff at all levels should ensure that staff members for whom they are
responsible, are aware of the confidential nature of relevant information acquired by them in their work,
and should inform them of the need to maintain confidentiality of such information.
Staff members in receipt of confidential information should not use or appear to use such information to
gain personal advantage for themselves or for a third party.
Boutique Build Australia staff must protect the confidentiality of information acquired during their work.
Staff should not disclose any confidential information to colleagues, clients, or any other party without
specific authority or legal/professional duty.
Technical standards
Boutique Build Australia staff shall carry out their job responsibilities in accordance with relevant
contractual arrangements and/or in accordance with the technical and professional standards relevant to
that work. In this sense, Boutique Build Australia staff members owe a duty of skill and care to the
Boutique Build Australia.
Gifts, benefits or hospitality which exceed a nominal amount, must be declared to the staff member's
line manager and must not be accepted if in the view of the line manager the acceptance of the gift
or gratuity would compromise objectivity and be seen by the wider community as likely to influence
the staff member in their official capacity.
Gifts, benefits or hospitality offered as an inducement to place a staff member under an obligation to
purchase goods or services cannot be accepted.
Ethical behaviour
Boutique Build Australia staff should conduct themselves in a manner which is consistent with the
Boutique Build Australia's strategic intentions, reputation, and functions for which it was created under
the Boutique Build Australia of South Australia Act. Staff should refrain from any conduct which might
bring discredit to the Boutique Build Australia.
It is important that colleagues, clients, suppliers and the wider community, be satisfied that Boutique
Build Australia staff are acting fairly, honestly and in good faith. You should not condone misleading,
false or deceptive statements. The character of staff will be judged by their conduct, real or apparent.
You should not accept gifts, benefits or hospitality if their nature and value may be seen as
compromising your objectivity and influencing you in your official capacity.
You should not condone the use of any statement which is misleading, false or deceptive.
You should conduct yourself with care and skill, and ensure your actions do not conflict with the
requirements of integrity and objectivity.
You should not use confidential or other information for personal advantage or for the advantage of
another.
Finally
If you would be ashamed if your conduct was reported in a Boutique Build Australia newsletter or a local
newspaper read by friends and colleagues, you should question whether your behaviour is ethical.
