Policies and plans
Our guidelines for looking after our visitors, employees and business with respect, equality and fairness.
Looking after our visitors
We are committed to making your experience welcoming, safe and inclusive.
Reconciliation Action Plan
Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia that acknowledges and accepts the history of our country and the impacts and effects this shared history has on all of us. For MoAD, this vision translates to a commitment to truth telling and acknowledging the complex history of Australia’s democracy and its impacts on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
Disability Inclusion Action Plan
We want all our visitors, staff and volunteers to enjoy the museum. Our Disability Inclusion Action Plan outlines our commitment to improve accessibility and inclusion in our exhibitions, public programs, museum spaces, facilities and digital experiences.
Client Service Charter
We want to provide excellent customer service to our visitors. These are the standards of service you can expect when you come to MoAD.
Community guidelines
We celebrate the spirit of Australian democracy and the power of your voice. That means we love having conversations about history, politics, social change and rights – meaningful, though sometimes sensitive topics. These guidelines outline how to participate in conversations on our website and social media platforms.
Looking after our employees
We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive and respectful work environment.
Work, health and safety
Reporting problems at work
The museum is committed to the highest standards of ethical and accountable conduct, and to a culture that encourages reporting of wrongdoing. If you work in the public sector, whether as an employee or a provider, let us know if you see something that's not right – whether it's a safety problem, environmental damage, money being wasted or something illegal. Whistleblowers are protected by law.

APS Census
The APS Employee Census collects staff feedback about working at MoAD and the Australian Public Service. The results reflect how we feel about working here.
Business
Buying from small business
We love to support small business. We advertise for goods and services at AusTender. We pay all correct invoices within 30 days, in line with the government's 30 day payment policy.
Procurement
Procurement is about how we get goods or services to run our business. Because we are a government-run organisation, there are rules about how we do this.

We take all complaints seriously. Read more about complaints regarding procurements processes in our Procurement Complaints Policy.
