1. Social and Environmental Wellbeing

The underlying core value of Interactions Institute is:
“Knowledge and learning for human—non-human wellbeing”.

To this end, in addressing a specific question or problem, each research project also works to generate better understanding of the relational interactions of complex living systems.

2. Integrity

Interactions Institute is committed to its underlying core value (above) and to clear, ongoing communication with clients. We are accountable to all stakeholders throughout the life of each project.

We adhere to the ethical and best practice guidelines of Australian professional associations including:

1. The Australian Anthropological Society Code of Ethics
2. The Australian Evaluation Society Code of Ethics and Guidelines
3. The AIATSIS Guidelines for Ethical Research in Australian Indigenous Studies
4. ERIC International Charter for Ethical Research Involving Children
5. The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007 (updated 2018)
6. The Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics (accessed 10 Mar, 2020)

3. Respect

Our organisation is committed to continuous cultural learning and respect in dealings with diverse clients, stakeholders and cultural contexts.

As an Australia based research, evaluation and learning organisation, we prioritise research that examines First Nations-settler relations. We recognise First Nations self determination as the foundation of all intercultural collaborations. This includes engaging First Nations designed methodologies and research principles.
