Code of Ethics
![]() |
With this in mind, Speech Pathology Australia substantially revised its Code of Ethics in 1999/2000 and established its Ethics Board to manage and, when necessary, enforce the Code.
The Code of Ethics contains the standards:
- which reflect the value base of our profession;
- which reinforce the principles on which we make ethical decisions;
- which assist members of our Association to adopt legitimate and professionally acceptable behaviour in their Speech Pathology practice;
- by which people outside our profession may evaluate us; and
- which form the basis for the decisions of our Association's Ethics Board.
Members of the public or members of the profession are encouraged to make a complaint if they believe there has been a breach of the Code of Ethics.
