The RANZCOG Board has approved the RANZCOG Code of Conduct that has been developed by the Professional Standards Committee, chaired by Councillor Dr Greg Kesby, to speak directly to the membership and College Staff – and to inform external stakeholders about the culture in which we conduct our work.
The Code of Conduct is a statement of the standard of professional and social behaviour expected of our membership and College Staff as we interact with each other and with others in undertaking the work of the College. The Code also functions to inform service providers and external individuals serving on a RANZCOG body of the culture that underpins our day-to-day work.
This Code should be read in conjunction with the RANZCOG Constitution, Regulations, Organisational Values, and the other policies and procedures as detailed within the Code.
For College Staff, the RANZCOG Code of Conduct supplements the information contained in individual Employment Agreements.
For registered medical practitioners, the RANZCOG Code of Conduct sits alongside compliance with the expected standards of professional performance and conduct as set down by statutory registration and standards authorities in the jurisdiction in which a practitioner is practising the profession.
The Code of Conduct replaces the Code of Ethical Practice that has been in place since 2001.
