  • Steps TrueBlue Talent may take to ensure the safety of Attendees.
(c) TrueBlue Talent intends that Events are:

  • Held in compliance with relevant Public Health Orders and directives in place from time to time.
 
2. Minimum Standards of Conduct at Events
(a) It is a condition of attendance that Event Attendees agree to comply with the standards of conduct set out in this Policy.
(b) Attendees must agree to observe the following minimum standards of conduct at all Events:
  • Showing courtesy and respect to other Attendees, whether they are members, guests, or Employees or faculty of TrueBlue Talent, or employees of an Event venue.
  • Not engaging in conduct which may reasonably be perceived as harassing, intimidating, overbearing, or physically or emotionally threatening.
  •  TrueBlue Talent reserves the right to remove from a venue any person who does not meet the standards set out in this Policy and to take any other action available to it under its Constitution or any other rules that apply to membership or attendance at Events from time to time.

3. Virtual Events
The minimum standards of conduct set out at paragraph two (2) above are also required to be met when an Event is held ‘virtually,’ i.e., when one or more Attendees join an Event via a video conferencing service.

4. Making a Complaint
(a) If you wish to make a complaint about conduct that you consider to be inconsistent with these standards at an Event, please speak to a TrueBlue Talent staff member.
(b) If you wish to make a complaint about conduct that you consider to be inconsistent with these standards following an Event, you are able to contact TrueBlue Talent at email address contact@truebluetalent.com or telephone 1300 739 119. TrueBlue Talent will take such steps as it considers necessary to respond to the complaint, including, but not limited to, investigating the matter.
(c) Where an Event is held virtually, you may contact the TrueBlue Talent moderator via the messaging service attached to the video conferencing service.
 
5. Public Health Precautions at ‘In-Person’ Events
(a) To protect the health and safety of TrueBlue Talent’s employees, faculty, members, guests, and employees of TrueBlue Talent’s service providers, as well as the wider community, TrueBlue Talent may, from time to time, require that Attendees at Events held in-person take certain steps to help prevent community transmission of disease, in accordance with guidance provided by the applicable Department of Health in that state or territory and TrueBlue Talent’s obligations under relevant work health and safety laws.
(b) The steps that TrueBlue Talent may take at a particular Event to help prevent the community transmission of a disease will depend on several factors, including:
  • State and Commonwealth public health laws, orders, and directives that apply from time to time; and
  • Rates of transmission in the local community.
(c) Where TrueBlue Talent determines that an in-person Event cannot be held due to an increased risk of transmission of a communicable disease, it will make arrangements to reschedule the Event or offer the Event as a virtual event to be attended via a video-conferencing service, as it determines in its sole discretion.
