Supplier reporting obligations

Reporting obligations – Office of Public Integrity

If you are a supplier contracted to deliver goods, services or a construction project on our behalf, you are considered as a public officer under the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Act 2012. This means you must report any matter you reasonably suspect to be corruption.

Under the Act, you must report any reasonable suspicion of corrupt public administration conduct to the Office for Public Integrity. This includes public officers breaching their duty to act honestly in their role at all times, and:

  • abuse of public office
  • bribery or corruption of public officers
  • threats or reprisals against public officers
  • demanding or requiring a benefit on the basis of public office
  • offences relating to the appointment of any public office.

Visit the Office for Public Integrity to learn what constitutes as reasonable suspicion.

  • the breach happened while acting in their capacity as a public officer
