Fraud, corruption control and other losses policy

We have launched an updated integrity framework.

The framework applies to:

• all department staff
• executive officers
• contractors
• service providers
• consultants
• funded agencies and organisations.

The framework consists of the:

1. Fraud, Corruption Control and Other Losses Policy

The framework:

• describes what fraud and corruption is and how it can impact on the functions and service delivery by the Department of Health.
• describes roles and responsibilities of individuals and business areas within the department regarding the management of fraud and corruption
• describes the process of reporting fraud and corruption, including escalation paths
• illustrates how the principles in AS 8001:2021 Fraud and corruption control translate to action within the department
• describes how reports of fraud and corruption are investigated or referred to investigating agencies
• sets out the department's fraud, corruption and other losses prevention and management policy as required by the Standing Directions of the Minister for Finance.
