The Institute’s Code of Conduct
An essential requirement of all professional certification systems is their professional ethical standards and the commitment to those standards by those seeking to obtain and maintain that professional certification.
These ethical standards are codified into a formal Code of Conduct, and are the means by which The Institute applies discipline to the behavior of its members.
This is the main reason that the system is available only to Institute (or affiliated Institute) members.
In the event that a complaint is made against someone holding certified practicing (CP) certification, the CP Board may conduct an investigation.
If disciplinary action appears to be warranted, the CP Board will first advise The Institute’s Australian Council, who may guide the CP Board.
Disciplinary action includes suspension or cancellation, with or without publicity.
