About Professional Practice

Professional practice is of high importance within the professional working industry. My commitment to professionalism can be displayed in the code of conduct agreed to whilst entering University as well as the code of conduct within the Planning Institute of Australia. It ensures that professional practice is agreed upon, and that consequences may arise if any unprofessional actions take place. Professionalism allows for a comfortable environment committed to the common goal of completing tasks. I wish to uphold professional standards throughout my career path to gain the respect of my fellow colleagues as well as clients.

About Interprofessionalism

Interprofessionalism is the collaboration between professions, it creates a professional relationship where by a central goal needs to be completed. This is an effective method of work as outsourcing solutions is often cost effective and speeds up the end result. In my professional industry of planning, interprofessionalism is essential, this may include liaison with architects, local council, trades work and so forth. It creates delegation of tasks and is a highly useful form of collaboration. It is a highly useful skill to employ on larger tasks which need to be completed.

About Ethical Practice

The standards of ethical practice is of high importance to the planning industry, ethical practice is the notion of ensuring that an individual holds high moral values which comply with respectfulness and sensitivity. It is relevant to the planning industry to ensure that we are creating the best possible outcome for clients, and doing so in an ethical way which prioritises the client.  Work placement has allowed extensive knowledge in ethical practices, especially in regards to heritage sites and the preservation of sacred lands. It can be said to also be integrated into professionalism where by awareness of ethical practices allows an ethically sensitive workplace.

Community Funding Application Development –

The funding application I was a part of was Bernard House – A response to the lack of support systems for male victims of domestic violence. We assessed multiple situations in finding our target group but ultimately selected through identifying gaps within a social issue. We soon discovered that men were lacking support in relation to domestic violence situations. An overwhelming amount of support systems were readily available to women and rarely targeted towards men. A lack of statistics and research indicated the variables we needed to take into consideration to fill the missing gaps of equality. We produced identification of funding through analysing of who is responsible for the victims of domestic violence regardless of gender. Government organisations were selected as they held the collective responsibility of psychological, physical, and economical trauma in domestic violence circumstances. Our project directly coincides with the goals and responsibilities of each department.

 

Applied debating: Developing position papers

Applied debate can come in the form of a position paper. It is the structural development allowing a flow of information taking on the desired side on an argument. It allows both sides to be discussed briefly but the dominating side will be focused on reinforced with supporting evidence with every claim made. A position paper is useful in displaying the argument and can be utilised towards a solution to a particular argument in question. The position paper I have writing concerns the need for an increased censorship for the internet. I choose to focus on cyber bullying and suicide as the consequences of lack of censorship are far more life threatening making this a clear argument for the need for censorship.
