The Australian Voices Groups Directory is a free, opt-in listing run by Northside Community Voices (NCV) to help independent, community-based Voices Groups find and connect with each other across Australia. Becoming a Directory Editor also registers you as a Friend of NCV. By nominating yourself as a Directory Editor for your organisation and ticking the acceptance box, you agree to the following:

1. You’re also becoming a Friend of NCV

As part of this process you are registering as a Friend of NCV. NCV values courteous and respectful behaviour at all times and online, and undertakes to protect your privacy and the security of all online data. By registering as a Friend of NCV, you agree to comply with our Code of Conduct and Terms of Service, and confirm you have read and understood our Privacy Policy. These obligations apply in addition to, not instead of, everything below.

2. Who can be a Directory Editor

You confirm that you are a genuine, current member of the Voices Group you are nominating to represent, and that you have that group’s authority to create and maintain its public listing. Each Voices Group has exactly one active Directory Editor at a time — if your group later wants to change who holds this role, contact NCV.

3. What you’re responsible for

You’re responsible for the accuracy of everything you post about your group: its name, description, logo, area, website and social media page. Please keep it current.

4. The directory lists groups, not people

Don’t put any individual’s name, email address or phone number in your group’s listing. Point people to your group’s website, social media page or shared inbox instead.

5. What NCV will do

NCV does not endorse the policies, positions, or activities of any Voices Group listed in the directory — the Australian Voices Groups Directory simply helps groups find each other. NCV reserves the right to edit, hide, or remove any listing that is inaccurate, offensive, or breaches this agreement, without needing your prior consent, though we’ll always try to let you know first.

6. Your data

Your own contact details, provided when you register as a Friend of NCV as part of this process, are handled under NCV’s Privacy Policy. This Australian Voices Groups Directory agreement sits alongside, and does not replace, NCV’s main Terms of Service and Code of Conduct, or the Australian Voices Groups Directory Code of Conduct.

7. Ending this agreement

You, or NCV, can end your role as Directory Editor at any time — just get in touch. Your organisation’s listing will be removed or handed to a newly nominated editor.

Questions about this agreement can be sent to [email protected].
