Members' Responsibilities

All members are expected to use the internet and electronic communication appropriately, guided by the premise “think about what you want to say before you write it”. Email and social media postings are a written record of your thoughts on a matter and can be used against you later in disciplinary or legal proceedings.

Non-Compliance

Any member found to have sent inappropriate electronic communication, uploaded inappropriate website content or engaged in blogs or discussions that harass, offend, intimidate or humiliate members, may face disciplinary action as outlined in our member protection policy or code of conduct.

Cyber-bullying (E.g. bullying that is carried out through an internet service such as email, a chat room, discussion group, instant messaging or web pages) under certain circumstances is a criminal offence that can be reported by victims to the police. The Association can also initiate separate action where there has been a breach of our member protection policy or code of conduct.

Members publishing false or misleading comments about another person in the public domain (E.g. Facebook or Websites) may be liable for defamation.
