ACS Social Media Community Guidelines

This webpage is managed and maintained by ACS.

To foster meaningful and valuable discussions, please stay on topic when commenting on posts. We will do our best to respond to your comments or queries within three business working days. However, during busy periods, it may take longer. We appreciate your patience.

Specific questions regarding ACS activities or events may be referred to the relevant team or department for a response. While we are here to help you find the information you need, we are unable to provide personalised advice tailored to individual situations.

 

The ACS social media platforms are respectful, reliable, relevant and safe. You must understand and acknowledge that published social media content is visible to the public and may be considered a public record. Once content is shared, ACS is not responsible or liable for controlling its further distribution.

Please note that posts may be deleted if they are considered:

  • Abusive, offensive or unlawful: Harassment, bullying or provoking other community members, swearing, derogatory language and expressions of views that are racist, sexist, homophobic, predatory or sexually explicit are not acceptable.

  • Potentially defamatory or breaching privacy laws.

  • Political in nature: While we welcome the discussion of policies and initiatives, our channels are not the place to discuss political parties or personalities. As a professional association, ACS remains apolitical and will not publish or respond to political commentary.

  • Misleading information or misinformation: Content that is false, unfounded or misleading—whether intentional or not—will be removed.

  • An infringement of intellectual property rights: Please respect and acknowledge the original creators when sharing content.

  • Promotional: We do not accept advertisements, requests to endorse commercial products or services, or solicitations for donations.

  • Spam or harmful content: Copied and pasted, duplicated, or off-topic posts will be removed. We do not tolerate posts containing links to harmful or suspicious websites or applications. 

  • Breaching the privacy of ACS employees, members or stakeholders: By sharing personal information, such as email addresses or telephone numbers.

If you fail to follow these guidelines, your account may be blocked on one or more platforms.

 

Please do not post private or sensitive personal information (e.g. health information) about yourself or others on ACS social media pages. If you do post such information, it will be considered unsolicited under Australian privacy legislation. Unless the information is reasonably necessary for the performance of an ACS function or we are required by law to keep it, it may be destroyed or de-identified.

ACS social media pages may use Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and LinkedIn remarketing pixels to provide advertising relevant to you. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
