Oversight
The NACC is overseen by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the National Anti-Corruption Commission (PJC-NACC) and an Inspector of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (the Inspector).
The PJC-NACC’s functions include:
- considering proposed recommendations for certain appointments
- examining reports tabled in Parliament relating to the Commission and Inspector
- examining trends and changes in corruption and reporting to Parliament on desirable changes to the functions, powers, procedures, structure and staffing of the Commission or Inspector
- reviewing the sufficiency of the Commission’s budget and finances and reporting on the outcome of that review.
The PJC-NACC cannot review operational decisions, methods or activities.

The Inspector of the National Anti-Corruption Commission is an independent officer of the Parliament.
The Inspector has the functions to:
- investigate allegations of serious or systemic corrupt conduct within the NACC
- investigate complaints about the NACC
- audit the operations of the Commission to monitor the Commission’s compliance with Commonwealth laws and detect agency maladministration and officer misconduct.
The Inspector is able to conduct joint investigations with the Commissioner, and with the AFP or a police service of a state or territory.
Memorandum of Understanding
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is an agreement that outlines expectations between two or more parties. The purpose of this MOU is to set out the arrangements for interaction between the Commission and the Inspector to facilitate the performance of the Inspector's functions, in particular concerning referral of matters, access to information and points of contact between the parties.

Gifts and benefits register
Gifts, benefits and hospitality can create actual, perceived or potential conflicts of interest for public officials. To avoid such a situation, NACC staff members must generally decline any gifts or benefits offered to them in connection with their employment. Any gift or benefit they do accept must be declared.
A table listing gifts or benefits received by staff at the NACC is available on the Gifts and benefits register page.
Indexed list of departmental files
Under the Procedural orders of the Senate, agencies must produce an indexed list of relevant files every 6 months and for tabling before Parliament and publish it on their website.
A table listing the relevant files is available on the Indexed list of departmental files page.
Integrity plans and policies
Australian Government officials must perform their duties ethically, accountably and transparently.
To support this, the NACC has a range of internal integrity plans and policies in place.

NACC contracts
NACC Senate Order Reporting Compliance (Murray Motion) Calendar Year 2024
Pursuant to the Senate Order for entity contracts, we have published a list of contracts entered into by the National Anti-Corruption Commission, including applicable contracts entered into by the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity, subsumed into the Commission upon its commencement on 1 July 2023 which provide for a consideration to the value of $100,000 or more (GST inclusive) and which:
- have not been fully performed as 31 December 2024
- have been entered into during the 12 months prior to 31 December 2024.
For a list of all contracts required to be listed pursuant to the Senate Order, visit the AusTender website.
Most of the contracts listed contain confidentiality provisions of a general nature that are designed to protect the confidential information of the parties that may be obtained or generated in carrying out the contract. The reasons for including such clauses include:
- ordinary commercial prudence that requires protection of trade secrets, proprietary information and the like
- protection of other Commonwealth material and personal information.
The Accountable Authority of the National Anti-Corruption Commission has assured that the listed contracts do not contain any inappropriate confidentiality provisions.
We estimate the cost of complying with the Senate Order is $900. We determined this by calculating the time taken to collect, analyse and compile the information and applying salary costs and on-costs.
