Why mycode matters

mycode is there to protect the things we all value

It describes the kind of workplace we want to work in.

One where we’re valued. And safe. And look after each other.
Where we treat one another with care and respect.
Always act with honesty and fairness.
Take care of the things we’ve been trusted with. 
And Speak Up when we see wrongdoing or injustice.

“Doing the right thing in the right way is fundamental to preserving trust and earning the right to serve government.  Please ensure you are familiar with mycode, ask questions if you are not sure what to do, and let’s work together to impact a better future for everyone.”

Many colleagues have helped to create mycode. If you have any ideas or suggestions to improve it, the team would love to hear from you. 

Give feedback

“Working without mycode would be like driving without any road signs, traffic lights or rules.”

“It’s not just a set of rules - mycode is about a place that makes working a great and rewarding experience.”

“It wasn’t until we had a serious incident that I realised how much it matters.”
