Standards of Conduct

Under the Treaty Authority Agreement, Members of the Treaty Authority are required to meet Standards of Conduct developed by the Independant Panel.

The Independent Panel is established under clause 6 of the Treaty Authority Agreement.  Panellists are jointly appointed by the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria and the State of Victoria and are independent of the Treaty Authority. The Panellists’ functions include developing the Standards of Conduct.  

The purpose of the Standards of Conduct is to ensure that Members, at all times, perform their functions and duties and exercise their powers in good faith in the best interests of the Treaty Authority.

This document has been developed by the Panel and sets out the Standards of Conduct for the purposes of the Treaty Authority Agreement. The Standards are a living document, reviewed annually by the Panel.

Treaty Authority Member – Standards of Conduct

The Treaty Authority acknowledges First Peoples as sovereign peoples throughout the lands and waters now known as Victoria and across Australia. We pay deep respect to all Traditional Owners, their lands, waters and skies, their Elders and ancestors, languages, family and clan groups, and their Lore, Law, customs, traditions and spiritual connections.
