CODE OF BEHAVIOUR
CosieVic strongly supports the Laws of the Australian States and Territories in respect of harassment and public behaviour and will vigorously support these laws to its fullest. More stringent laws of any state or territory have precedence over this code of behaviour.
• The rights of every person, are paramount in a clothes free environment.
• Further to the comments above, CosieVic has no intention of inhibiting or prohibiting mutually acceptable affectionate gestures within family units. Nor does it intend to intrude into relationships or the private acts of consenting adults in private, provided they do not take place within the event environment.
• CosieVic will not condone sexual harassment or sexual acts. These will have no place within CosieVic and will not be tolerated.
Members and guests are also advised they must abide by the rules of the venue.
UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR
• Unacceptable behaviour is defined as persistent staring, stalking or following, or crowding of an individual’s personal space. It also includes inappropriate or unwelcome touching or sexual acts or displays as well as any aggressive acts or threatening body language. If it is not acceptable within a family environment, it is not acceptable within event environments.
UNWELCOMED COMMUNICATIONS
• Unwelcomed communications are defined as any unwanted advances, remarks, suggestions, propositions, gestures, threats, messages, ridicule or jokes of a crude or sexual nature. Persistent attempts to engage another person in clearly undesired conversation should be reported to the committee. Unsolicited comments and/or gestures about a person’s body are also considered unacceptable.
