- Conflict of Interest Policy at HACC TAC meetings
Course Cancellation Policy
All the training courses in the region's HACC Calendar are fully subsidised by the Department of Human Services, Western Metropolitan Region, and so are free of registration fees for HACC funded services in the region.
However HACC service providers are advised that should a staff member become unable to attend training, 48 hours notice to the training provider of the relevant course is required.
Where this notice is not given, the HACC service provider will incur a Cancellation Fee of $55.00 gst inclusive.
The rationale for this policy is to reduce waiting lists for courses and ensure optimum access to courses for all staff and volunteers in the region. Where this policy causes difficulty for any HACC service provider, the organisation is encouraged to call and discuss the policy or particular situations with the HACC Training Coordinator.
Conflict of Interest Policy at HACC TAC meetings
In order to ensure the continued function of HACC TAC as a regional body - one which aims to identify and meet the learning / training needs of staff and volunteers working for all the HACC service providing organisations funded by DHS WMR - HACC TAC members shall operate in a manner which avoids improper influence or conflict of interest between their HACC TAC role and organisations with which the HACC TAC member is associated.
As such where any HACC TAC member has a perceived or actual conflict of interest in relation to the activities of HACC TAC - for example the purchase of services from relatives, friends or business associates - then the HACC TAC member will declare its nature, character and extent. In case of doubt, it is best to acknowledge possible conflict of interest.
Where conflict of interest is identified the Chair, subject to the views of the meeting, may: ask the HACC TAC member to participate in the discussion but not the decision - making
or
ask the HACC TAC member to not participate in the discussion or decision - making.
