    AUSTRALIAN CHRISTIANS PARTY CODE OF CONDUCT

    Introduction

    The Australian Christians Code of Conduct provides a guide for how we will conduct ourselves with others, whilst providing services to our members.

    The Code of Conduct has been designed to assist Council Members, Staff Members and Volunteers to adopt standards of behaviour that reflect Australian Christians’ values.

     

    Mission Statement

    To govern and shape the nation in accordance with Christian values, by electing Australian Christians candidates, to protect our values and build a better Australia for all.

     

    “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible” President George Washington

     

    Australian Christians values:

    •                 Truth: We know we cannot legislate morality or the bible – but we can support, implement and facilitate policy and decision making that has biblical and godly underpinnings and outcomes
    •                 Integrity and Respect: We treat all who interact with us in a fair, honest and respectful way that values the people with whom we have contact, honouring their differences and their input
    •                 Freedom: We understand there are limits to our personal freedoms when working in community
    •                 Law and Order: We acknowledge that governments and authorities have been tasked by God to maintain good order. Therefore we respect and abide lawful regulations and protocols put in place.
    •                 Service: We serve one another in humility to advance our common goals

    Scope

    The Code applies to all Australian Christians Council Members, Staff Members and Volunteers.

     

    It does not cover every possible situation, but rather, provides a guide for the standards of behaviour expected in different scenarios and should be considered alongside Australian Christians’ policies and procedures that guide our practice.
