Engaging with The World Congress on social media
The World Congress social media pages are used to share global discussions and developments, with a goal to provide a channel for enquiries from members and stakeholders.
We value comments and look forward to hearing your opinions, but it is important these contributions are relevant and do not disrupt others in the online community.

Social media moderation policy
The World Congress moderates and monitors its social media channels during standard business hours only (Monday to Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm AEST).
The World Congress will make reasonable efforts to ensure that we identify and remove any inappropriate materials. Any breach of these Guidelines may result in the removal of the comment by the World Congress team. The World Congress may also remove members from the page at its sole discretion.
If posts or comments breach these Guidelines and appear on the World Congress social media channels, please report to the World Congress team at worldcongress2023@safework.nsw.gov.au.
The World Congress does not endorse or otherwise support any views, opinions or comments posted on our social media account and any content, sources, or accounts that it acknowledges, follows, links, retweets or shares on our social media channels.
Sharing personal information
Members may choose to share contact information with our officers in private settings (direct messages) of the social media platform to allow us to investigate an inquiry further. Members accept any risks with the relevant social media platform’s terms and conditions, and its privacy policies.
Disclaimer
The World Congress accepts no responsibility, or liability for any loss, damage, cost, or expense, which you or another party directly or indirectly suffers arising out of, or in connection with, your use of, or reliance on, any posts, comments or any other information made available or accessible through our social media channels or any linked site or facility.
To the extent permitted by law, the World Congress accepts no liability arising from its moderation or removal of, or failure to moderate or remove, any post, comment, or other material (including inappropriate content) from its social media channels.
