Safe Points of Contact & Code of Conduct

SAFE Conduct

• ASFB aims to promotes a friendly, relaxed, egalitarian and welcoming atmosphere for members and those interested in the study of fish.
• The ASFB has an Annual Conference and Official Events Code of Conduct which outlines expected behaviour, unacceptable behaviour, how to report unacceptable behaviour and the procedure for addressing complaints during our events. Please review the Code of Conduct.
• The Australian Society of Fish Biology (ASFB) Safe Point of Contact (SPC) is an initiative of the ASFB Executive to provide multiple ‘points of contact’ during ASFB Conference and Official Events. SPCs are volunteers within our Society that are offering their time and assistance during an event and act as friendly faces and helpful contacts. The SPC role supports the friendly, egalitarian and welcoming nature of the ASFB and enriches our events by assisting all participants in identifying ‘Safe People’ who are happy to assist with information, to provide introductions to other members for networking opportunities, or to have a chat with if you find yourself feeling alone, lost or uncomfortable.
