Conflict & Risk Management

Conflict Management
 
Rotary clubs are grass-roots volunteer service teams supported by local, regional, and international administrative networks of volunteers. District 9685 is the local support network for Rotary clubs, including conflict management support via a volunteer Conflict Management Committee.
 
The role of the conflict management committee is to assist Rotarians and clubs to:
 
  • Understand the sources of potential conflict in your club
  • Identify different methods used to resolve conflict
  • Develop and implement an action plan to reduce & manage conflict in your club
  • Identify opportunities to increase skills in conflict resolution, complaint and dispute handling
 
When clubs manage their conflict well:
 
  • The club retains members who may otherwise leave
  • It has a happier atmosphere with mutual respect for all Rotarians
  • It is more attractive to potential members
  • It’s focus is on fellowship, fun and service
 
Please contact the District Conflict Management Officers for assistance by email on districtconflictresolution@rotarydistrict9685.org.au or visit the District website for further information.

Risk Management & Privacy Policy
 
Risk Management is essential to Rotary's success as a volunteer organisation, and is obligatory to meet the requirements of our insurance. Click here for more information.
 
Privacy and responsible handling of personal protected information is equally critical to Rotary's reputation. The Privacy Act 1988 (Federal) imposes the need to keep private membership records and the details that people give us. This includes information provided in relation to youth exchange, prospective members, and community groups. The Act says you can keep records and use them for the purpose for which the information was given - you just cannot misuse the information. 
 
The Privacy Act is a federal law which does not cover local, state or territory government agencies, except the Norfolk Island administration. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) mainly deals with issues that are covered by the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act).
 
The NSW Information and Privacy Commission administers the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW) and Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW).
