We are committed to providing an environment free of harassment and discrimination for everyone, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, age, appearance, religion, or other group status. For the purposes of this conference, attendees can contribute to creating a safe and inclusive environment by:
• Not assuming a person’s gender until they have disclosed it to you
• Respecting anyone’s choice of gender pronouns.
• Not defaulting to male pronouns for ungendered subjects.
• Framing discussions as openly and inclusively as possible and being aware of how language or images may be perceived by others.
• Issuing content warnings if your talk or slides might be distressing.
• Engaging respectfully – do not talk over other speakers, keep your talk to the time allocated, keep questions concise so that multiple people can engage.
Chairs will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the Code of Conduct during conference sessions. Any serious breaches should be reported to a current member of the AAHPSSS Committee and may lead to conference registration being cancelled and/or expulsion from AAHPSSS.
This code of conduct is intended to support the AAHPSSS Equity and Diversity policy which can be found at https://aahpsss.net.au/equity-and-diversity-principles/
