Legislative Compliance Policy

This policy covers the organisations responsibility to comply with the law and governance structures. 

There are several reasons it's important to have a legislative compliance policy:

• Avoid Legal Penalties - Non-compliance can result in fines, legal action, and other penalties. A compliance policy helps avoid these consequences by ensuring adherence to laws.
• Enhance Reputation - Demonstrating a commitment to compliance can enhance the organization’s reputation with customers, partners, and regulators.
• Operational Efficiency - Clear guidelines and procedures help streamline operations and reduce the risk of errors or breaches.
• Risk Management - Proactively managing compliance risks helps protect the organization from potential legal and financial issues.
• Ethical Standards - A compliance policy promotes a culture of integrity and ethical behavior within the organization.
• In Australia, having a legislative compliance policy is crucial for maintaining legal and ethical standards, protecting the organization from risks, and fostering a responsible business environment.

This policy is in constant use and should be reviewed regularly as laws and governance change.
