Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Policy

This policy states Western Water’s position on:

• responding to offers of gifts, benefits and hospitality; and
• providing gifts, benefits and hospitality.

This policy is intended to support individuals and Western Water to avoid conflicts of interest and maintain high levels of integrity and public trust. The policy is consistent with the standards set by the Victorian Public Sector Commission.

Note: Contractors and consultants are only bound by the policy if explicitly required by their contract for services.
