Values

ACTPLA's values underpin everything its staff do to achieve the ACT Government’s policies and, through them, meet the ACT community’s needs. ACTPLA values integrity, trust, respect, professionalism and a customer focus.

The ACTPLA Corporate Plan 2011-2014  sets out our vision, values, goals and key result areas.

Business conduct

The Guidelines on Business Conduct guide our business and set out our expectations of staff about decision-making, risk management, managing conflict of interest, dealing with customers and being ethical.

Customers

ACTPLA has a Code of Service and Small Business Charter. We conduct regular customer surveys to ensure we provide high standards of service and information.

What we will do for customers

ACTPLA staff will:

• identify themselves and provide service as quickly as possible, or find someone who can
• listen and look for practical ways to help resolve any issues about dealing with us
• be courteous, helpful and considerate at all times
• provide information that is accurate, complete and easy to understand
• where we can’t immediately meet needs, get back to you to ensure you are kept up-to-date with actions we have taken
• continually strive to make it easier to do business with us
• implement innovative ways to deliver service options that best suit business needs
• regularly seek feedback on service expectations and the quality of service received and make improvements
• promptly deal with complaints about service delivery in accordance with our customer complaints handling policy; all information provided will be treated in confidence.
