What does the Integrity Commission do?
The main aim of the Integrity Commission is to improve the standards of conduct, propriety and ethics by and within public authorities in Tasmania. The primary focus is on prevention and this will be achieved by providing a strong educative role, and developing consistent standards and guidelines to assist public authorities and public officers perform their roles and duties ethically. The Commission also accepts complaints about possible misconduct or serious misconduct by public officers. Complaints are assessed by the Commission and, if it is appropriate to do so, they may be investigated. In many instances the matter will be referred to an appropriate body for action but in some instances an investigation will be undertaken by the Commission itself. If an investigation is undertaken by another body, it will report back to the Commission on the outcome.
