Making a complaint

All members of the Victorian Association of Family Therapists undertake to be accountable for their family therapy practice and adhere to the VAFT Inc Code of Ethics. You can download a copy of the Code of Ethics from the sidebar to the left of this page.

Possible breaches of this Code should be identified in writing to the "Convenor of the Ethics Committee":

VAFT: Ethics Committee

PO Box 2351

Richmond Vic

Complaints will be dealt with firstly by the Ethics Committee. The role of this committee is to ensure family therapy practice in Victoria is of the highest ethical standard.

 

 


The Process
Once the Ethics Committee has received notice of a complaint it must commence an investigation into the complaint within 14 days. Any member of VAFT Inc about whom a complaint has been made has a right to respond to the matters raised in the complaint. After the Ethics Committee has completed the investigation of the complaint it must notify the complainant and the person about whom the complaint has been made, about the results of the investigation and any proposed course of action it intends to take.
