The Research Society Code of Professional Behaviour

Ruby Cha Cha is a market research agency that is a proud corporate partner of The Research Society in Australia.  We follow the The Code of Professional Behaviour (The Code).

The Code is designed as a framework for self-regulation for market researchers and market research agencies in Australia. Its aim is to foster public confidence in research and to demonstrate that activities carried out by Members are carried out in a professional and ethical manner.

All Research Society Members and Company and Client Partners must comply with The Code. It applies to the professional activities of Members and Partners.

Company and Client Partner organisations are required to ensure that all individuals employed or engaged by them (whether Research Society Members or not) comply with this Code as if they are Members.

The first general rule in The Research Society’s Code of Professional Behaviour is:

Members’ professional activities must be legal, and conform to all relevant legislation, including in particular the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Trust is core to professional research practice and abiding by the provisions of the Privacy Act is a foundation of that trust.  Ruby Cha Cha market research agency ensures that the privacy act is followed in all of its market research dealings.  Find the relevant legislation and adaptions here.
