Code of Ethics

A Professional Code of Ethics gives written expression to the modes, the morals and the manners expected of each individual member by the profession itself

• The "modes" refer to the approach to work matters expected of the professional; they are dynamic and subject to change.
• The "morals" reflect the ideals and standards of honesty and decency sought by the profession.
• The "manners" represent the required professional dignity and courtesy in all dealings with colleagues, other employees and clients.

Members of the Australasian College of Health Service Management shall: 

• Undertake their duties in the Health Service in an efficient, proper and responsible manner, having special regard for the well being of the consumers of the service.
• Support their colleagues and other health service managers as required and appropriate by providing assistance to other individuals and organisations.
• Contribute to the leadership of the organisation by recognising and developing the inherent skills of all health workers in order to achieve efficient and effective services.
• Seek to improve personal skill, knowledge and experience by undertaking appropriate study and being involved in the College's Continuing Professional Development program.
• Demonstrate a commitment to the development of other health service managers and interested persons in other health disciplines.
• Ensure that their position is used fairly and appropriately in a manner which must be neither to their personal advantage nor unjustly to the disadvantage of an employee or colleague
