Policies and protocols
All BOPDHB staff are bound by a number of policies and protocols. Each service area differs so please
familiarise yourself with the policies and protocols specific to your area. Current BOPDHB policies and
protocols are available under ’Controlled Documents’ on the right hand side of the OnePlace home page.
Shared expectations
Our Shared Expectations (or code of conduct) provide the standards of behaviour expected from all
BOPDHB staff to ensure a positive workplace culture. All staff are responsible for implementing Shared
Expectations within their workplace and managers are responsible for ensuring the Shared Expectations
are understood by their staff.
The five core principles of our Shared Expectations are:
1. Respect for people
2. Integrity
3. Respect for the law and the system of Government
4. Diligence
5. Economy and efficiency.
For more information about our Shared Expectations refer to the Shared Expectations (code of conduct)
booklet provided with your orientation booklet.
