Strategic Plan
Anglicare Australia’s Strategic Plan is expressed through the following three goals and the strategies identified for achieving them.
Goal 1: To influence the national social policy agenda by having a strong advocacy voice informed by research and by engagement with the Anglicare member agencies and the Anglican Church.
Goal 2: To engage and strengthen the Anglicare Australia membership.
Goal 3: To develop strong positive relationships with the Anglican Church at all levels.
Code of Conduct
A national Code of Conduct was endorsed by Anglicare member agencies in September 2003. The Code sets out general standards relating to values, governance, organisational integrity, accountability, communication and cooperation. It is essentially a statement of principles rather than a set of prescriptions, embracing a spirit of cooperation among organisations that share a similar ethos and providing a common framework within which organisation-specific standards and principles might sit. It is a requirement of membership of the Anglicare network to abide by the Code of Conduct.
