2024 Code of Ethics (eff. 31 March 2024)

During 2023 the API undertook a full review of the Code.

Following the initial review and exposure draft consultation period, and after a rigorous review by a team of experts who comprehensively reviewed and considered all submissions received, the API Board approved the updated Code for release in December 2023 with an effective date of 31 March 2024.

The Code is a public statement of the principles, values and behaviours expected of API Members.

All API Members are reminded that they must abide by the Code when undertaking professional services.
