𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 in Parliament! This year’s Annual Report demonstrates that in 2025-26, we:

• assessed 2,603 referrals, up by more than 25% on 2024-25
• commenced 20 and finalised 34 preliminary investigations
• commenced 16 and finalised 21 corruption investigations
• oversaw or monitored 39 investigations by other agencies
• secured 2 convictions
• published 4 investigation reports
• held 130 corruption prevention engagements with Commonwealth public officials and other community members.

And, as a result of our sustained focus on finalising assessment of referrals received in 2023 to 2024, for the first time we closed more referrals than we received.

Our thoughts are with Dr Haines, her family and loved ones at this time.

We are deeply shocked by this appalling violence against her.

Dr Haines is an exemplary leader in Australia's integrity community, including through her role as Deputy Chair of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

We wish her a speedy recovery.

Public officials have a responsibility to provide frank advice, raise problems and make sure decision-makers have the information they need to make fully informed decisions ― even when the advice may not be what they want to hear.
