13 INTEGRITY COMMISSION
AGENCY OUTLINE
The Integrity Commission operates under the Integrity Commission Act 2009 (the Act) and its role is to
improve the standard of conduct, propriety and ethics in the public sector through:

education and training to prevent misconduct and develop resistance to misconduct;

building the capacity of the public sector to prevent and address misconduct; and

providing an effective mechanism for misconduct complaints to be addressed.
An important focus for the Integrity Commission is education, advice and prevention of public officer
misconduct to strengthen the confidence of Tasmanians in the capacity of the State's public authorities to
operate ethically and with propriety.
The Commission also deals with complaints of misconduct which, in some instances, may lead to
investigations. The Commission also conducts own motion investigations and has the power to monitor
and audit internal investigation processes conducted by public authorities.
The Commission is overseen by a Board that includes the Chief Commissioner, the Ombudsman, the
Auditor-General and other members with specialist expertise.
This chapter provides financial information about the Outputs to be delivered by the Integrity Commission
in 2015-16 and over the Forward Estimates period (2016-17 to 2018-19). Further information about the
Commission is provided at www.integrity.tas.gov.au.
KEY DELIVERABLES
The key initiatives for the Commission include:

working with the public and key stakeholders to enhance trust and confidence in public authorities
within Tasmania;

working cooperatively with public authorities, other integrity entities and the Parliamentary Standards
Commissioner to prevent misconduct and enhance capacity-building in dealing with misconduct;

educating public authorities and raising public awareness about integrity and ethical conduct; and

dealing with misconduct issues in a timely, effective and fair way in accordance with the public interest.
The 2014-15 Budget requirement for the Commission to achieve savings over the Budget and Forward
Estimates period will require it to focus on areas of the highest priority and achieve considerable
efficiencies across all its areas of operation. The original 2014-15 Budget savings requirement has been
partly offset by the provision of additional funding in the 2015-16 Budget.

Note:
1. The decrease in expenditure reflects the impact of Budget Savings Strategies required to be implemented in the
2014-15 Budget, partly offset by new funding provided in the 2015-16 Budget for the temporary extension of Board
funding ($43 000 one-off), adjustment of savings requirement ($71 000 ongoing) and costs associated with conducting
an independent review of the Integrity Commission Act, as required by section 106 of the Act ($60 000 one-off).
