Disclosure of Relationships & Interests
All staff are reminded that one of the seven professional standards of the Code of Conduct is the expectation to disclose actual, perceived or potential conflicts of interest and the receipt of gifts, benefits and hospitality. The Code of Conduct outlines the minimum professional standards of behaviour, while the Disclosure of Relationships and Interest Procedure defines staff responsibilities.
Potential for Conflicts of Interest (COI) exists in all aspects of University operations, including research, teaching, assessment, staffing, consultancy, administration and commercial activity. The best strategy for dealing with these COI’s is to avoid them in the first place. However, where an individual becomes aware, that in the normal course of their duties, they have or could have an unavoidable actual, perceived, or potential COI, they are expected to immediately disclose it to a Responsible Officer in the online Disclosure of Interest Register. Further information can be located HERE (Link to our page).
To lodge a disclosure, please head to the Disclosure of Interest (curtin.edu.au) register.
