Staff members across the Commonwealth public sector are being invited to have their say on corruption issues in their organisation.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission announced today that the Commonwealth Integrity Survey, first run in 2024, is open for Commonwealth public sector staff members to provide anonymous feedback on corruption risks, vulnerabilities and the integrity maturity in their organisation.
While the survey is voluntary, Acting Deputy Commissioner Jamie Lowe encouraged Commonwealth public sector staff to take time out and have their say.
'The inaugural survey in 2024 gave the Commission insights into our corruption risks and helped inform our corruption prevention and education work across the Commonwealth public sector,' Acting Deputy Commissioner Lowe said.
'This survey is a further chance to tell us what is and isn’t working to help focus detection and prevention efforts where they are needed most.'
The survey is anonymous, with no personal or identifying information collected.
'While anonymous and voluntary, every response helps build a stronger evidence base for integrity and corruption prevention,' Acting Deputy Commissioner Lowe said.
Commonwealth public sector agencies are responsible for distributing the survey to their staff.
The survey will close on 25 September 2026.
Following the survey, each Commonwealth agency will receive a de-identified report with their agency’s results, to help them identify areas to target their corruption prevention and integrity efforts, including around employees’ understanding of corruption, integrity culture and barriers to reporting.
Some of the results will also be comparable to the 2024 survey, to assist agencies with assessing the impact of corruption prevention initiatives over the last 2 years.
More information on the survey is available at nacc.gov.au, or watch Acting Deputy Commissioner Lowe’s message to the Commonwealth public sector.
