Social media guidelines

These guidelines are in place to help create a safe online community, in the same way that we support a healthy community in the real world.

The aim of our social media channels is to build positive relationships with our community and we ask that anyone engaging with our social media channels shows courtesy, kindness and respect for all other members of our social media communities.

These guidelines apply to anyone on our social media channels, whether engaging directly with us or other social media users.

By engaging with our social media channels you agree to these guidelines.

Content must not:

• be off-topic, unintelligible or inappropriate for discussion in this forum
• violate another person’s privacy
• contain spam, be defamatory, offensive, abusive, threatening or promote any sexually explicit material, violence or illegal activity
• promote discrimination based on age, race, gender, religion, nationality, disability or sexual orientation
• be of a political nature
• contain any non-approved advertising or promotion of products and services
• infringe upon copyrights or trademarks
• breach any terms of the social media platforms themselves

Breach of guidelines

The Monash Health Communication and Engagement team reserves the right to hide, remove or report at its discretion any contribution to our social media channels that breaches these guidelines.
