Social media community guidelines
The Taxi Services Commission (Commission) provides opportunities through this website and various social media channels to listen, inform and engage with the community on issues relating to the Taxi Industry Inquiry (the inquiry).
The Commission currently uses the following social media channels:
These channels are actively monitored and updated by the Commission’s inquiry team during normal business hours (9am to 5pm) between Monday and Friday. The inquiry may change the format of social media engagement at any point, including by content, (partially or in its entirety) and by removing any or all social media platforms from public view.
We welcome your participation via our social media channels. However, to ensure they are used constructively and for the good of the community, we ask that you follow the guidelines below when contributing to any of our social media channels.
