APLA has a responsibility to all members with their differing prospecting interests, to ensure their rights are protected and to maintain and further our high profile.  It is therefore essential that our members agree to uphold APLA's principles and support our charter by their actions and behaviors. At an
AGM APLA members voted for a code of conduct for all members to endorse annually on membership renewal and for all new members.

   The CODE of CONDUCT is set out below.

Members will conduct themselves in a responsible manner at all times towards protecting and furthering the interests of Prospectors and Leaseholders.
Members will abide by the provisions of the WA Mining Act 1978 and Regulations, and follow the guidelines in the Prospecting WA booklet issued by the Dept of Mines and Petroleum.
Members will act to support APLA and prospecting in general.
Members will abide by tenement holders legitimate requests at all times when prospecting on a granted tenement.
Members will minimise environmental impact and maintain and leave clean campsites.
Members will abide by main roads closures and prevent unnecessary damage to pastoral roads and tracks.
Members will display courtesy and consideration to other prospectors in the field and maintain a respectable distance from their activities.
