Operate with integrity. Deliver with accountability.
Cape Dunstans operates with clear standards, strong systems and a commitment to ethical business practices across all areas of our business.
Our governance framework supports consistent decision-making, effective risk management and compliance with regulatory and client requirements.
How we operate
Clear standards – we maintain defined policies, procedures and controls that guide how work is planned, delivered and reviewed. Accountability in delivery – responsibility is embedded across our teams, with clear ownership of decisions, performance and outcomes. Risk and compliance – we actively identify, manage and monitor risk across our operations, ensuring alignment with legal, regulatory and contractual obligations. Information and data – we maintain appropriate controls to protect sensitive information and ensure data is handled responsibly.
Business Conduct
Integrity in practice – we are committed to fair, transparent and ethical conduct in all dealings: compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, zero tolerance for bribery, corruption or unethical behaviour, and professional and transparent relationships with clients, partners and suppliers.
Supply Chain Ethics
Aligned standards. Consistent delivery. We work with suppliers and subcontractors who meet the same standards we apply to our own operations: compliance with Australian Standards and regulatory requirements, ethical sourcing and modern slavery risk awareness, and consistent safety, quality and environmental expectations across the supply chain.
Speaking Up

Employees, contractors and partners are encouraged to report misconduct or unethical behaviour, with clear processes in place to ensure concerns are handled appropriately and without fear of retaliation.
