meeting
Start a discussion about the values the next time you have to make a
major decision
Examine your own behaviour and challenge misconduct in the
workplace
Speak to HR about how you can get involved in developing a values
based organisation
The code of conduct is binding and describes the behaviours expected of us as public sector workers. It may be supplemented by other information. Check with your manager or HR to see what other guidelines apply to your work.
You might like to mention those that apply in your organisation.
The behaviours described in the code are so important to our work that acting otherwise could be regarded as misconduct.
As public sector workers we perform an important role. But it’s not only about what we do, it’s about how we do it, and this is where the public sector values come into play. They define how we interact with the community, with Government and with each other. They ask us to show leadership and to treat each other fairly and reasonably.
Each section of the code is devoted to one of the seven Victorian public sector values.
But why are values important?
They guide our strategies, policies, practices and behaviours. They send a consistent message to our colleagues and other stakeholders. They remove ambiguity.
They define what is important to us.
Researchers such as Collins and Porras have found that values can inspire discretionary effort, particularly when there is a good ‘cultural fit’ between the organisation and its employees. People are working together in a common cause.
But we must see the relevance of the values to our work for this to happen. We must know what the values mean in practice.
People pick up on signals, both big and small, about how to behave at work so any behaviour that is inconsistent with the values should be stopped.
Recruitment, induction and performance management can help to reinforce the values and build understanding of them.
Now let’s consider each of the values in turn.
Each section of the code has:
a legal definition
a description of what that means in practice (points shown)
a description of the behaviours involved
For example the code says that demonstrating responsiveness means:
impartially advising the Government of the day and understanding the implications of that advice on government policy
remaining apolitical when interacting with Ministers, members of parliament and parliamentary committees
providing the community with services in an equitable, prompt and professional manner
contributing to improvements in the way work is performed
A case study has been provided for each value. Choose one or more for discussion. Click on the link to the case study if you wish.
Demonstrating integrity means:
being honest, open and transparent at work
using powers responsibly
complying with proper financial management principles
treating official information confidentially
limiting public comment to the facts
reporting unethical behaviour to an appropriate authority
declaring and avoiding conflicts of interest
engaging in other employment only when it doesn’t conflict with the public sector role
always acting in a way that sustains public trust
disclosing any relevant criminal offences
not allowing the consumption of drugs or alcohol to affect work
Click on the link to the case study if you wish
Demonstrating impartiality means:
making sound decisions and advice
not seeking or accepting gifts or benefits that could influence actions
using fair criteria in making decisions
implementing policies and programs equitably
Click on the link to the case study if you wish

Not all misconduct is intentional or for private gain.
Sometimes we do not even realise that our behaviour is considered misconduct. For example someone might unintentionally benefit the organisation by gathering information that is considered confidential. Or someone might do something to benefit themselves, while not realising that their conduct is considered wrong.
However sometimes misconduct is intentional. For example someone may intentionally bypass normal organisational protocols to obtain a quicker outcome or steal money or resources to benefit themselves.
This model outlines the steps to follow in making decisions.
Wherever possible decisions should also be made public and in collaboration with others. This is because considering diverse interests and perspectives when making a decision increases the credibility of the process and reduces the suspicion of bias.

Fraud is a crime that should be reported to the organisation’s Protected Disclosure Coordinator or to IBAC (the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission). Failing to do so could mean that the corrupt behaviour continues without investigation and public money is wasted.
Gina could make a protected complaint orally or in writing, in person or anonymously. Her complaint should set out the specific allegations as well as the grounds for those allegations, and include copies of any supporting documents.
Under the Protected Disclosures Act 2012, Gina is protected from reprisal for making a protected disclosure. Her manager is liable to a penalty of a maximum of $36,400 (240 penalty units) and/or two years imprisonment for threatening her with dismissal.
