Our Policies

We follow a range of policies so that our work is consistent and all our staff understand the Ombudsman’s vision, mission and purpose.

Each policy is a statement or instruction from the Ombudsman that explains how we should address different issues and make important decisions.

Key policies

Some of the key policies that direct our work are:

• Code of Conduct [PDF, 124.0 KB]

HR policies

Several policies cover staff working conditions. They capture our commitment to being a best practice employer.

Where required we have developed these policies with our staff, to make sure they are fair.
