Australian Parachute Federation
Code of Ethics
As members and officials of the Federation and its member organisations, we are governed by such regulatory documents as the Constitution, Operational Regulations, Disciplinary Procedures Handbook and Rigging Advisory Circulars. In addition, it is imperative that we conduct ourselves in a way which will uphold the professional reputation of the Federation when involved in operations and business activities relating to parachuting. It is therefore a condition of APF membership that all members and member organisations adhere to the Code of Ethics outlined below. Non-compliance could result in the loss of membership or refusal of affiliation.
The following principles set out the ethical standards which the Federation expects to be upheld.
