Julie Bishop address to Council 2010
Code of Conduct
The ACFID Code of Conduct is a voluntary, self-regulatory industry code. The Code represents the active commitment of overseas aid agencies or non-government development organisations (NGDOs) to conduct their activities with integrity and accountability.
The Code aims to enhance standards throughout the NGDO community to ensure that public confidence is maintained in the way that community contributions to overseas aid are used to reduce poverty through effective and sustainable development.
NGOs wishing to attain Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) accreditation are required to formally adopt and become a signatory to, and demonstrate compliance with, the ACFID Code of Conduct.
Transition Period:
A revised Code of Conduct was passed unanimously by ACFID Council in October 2010 and came into effect in January 2012, replacing the previous Code of Conduct.
The PowerPoint presentation from the training What does the new Code mean for your organisation? is now available to explain what the new Code will mean for your organisation.
