Code of Conduct
Our commitment is to welcome anyone and everyone that wishes to engage with the Hobart Hebrew Congregation (HHC) in a positive way. Our members make every effort to be a warm and welcoming community, engaging with each other, friends and visitors, the children of our community and all those who support it.
Our Code of Conduct provides a clear statement of behaviour expectations for members, parents and carers, and visitors participating in HHC activities, and gives members confidence that any concerns raised will be fully investigated.
