点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project, which involves collaboration between the Professional Standards Council and the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, aims to understand how best to promote high ethical standards in a range of 'professionalising' occupations. Among the key concerns of the project are the relation between self-regulation and other forms of regulation, including 'meta-regulation'; and the ethical issues facing professionals operating in large organisations. This project involves innovative work in 'applied philosophy', extending current understanding of professional ethics, particularly in the Australian setting, with important economic and social benefits to consumers and the broader society.
