Bass Coast currently has a Code of Conduct to which all staff, volunteers, artists and contractors are expected to adhere. In 2020 this was expanded to also include attendees. It includes the following statement related to sexual harassment and assault. This forms the foundation of our Sexual Harassment and Assault Policy.

“The Festival does not permit or condone inappropriate behaviour of any kind, which includes without limitation, any form of verbal, sexual, physical or emotional abuse and or harm; the use of derogatory or discriminatory language, gestures or actions; and any form of harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia or other targeted comments that are intended to cause personal offense or harm to any other person either at the Festival or through social media channels in relation to the Festival or the Bass Coast community."
