The Commission acts independently to prevent and investigate public sector misconduct, building trust in government and supporting ethical standards through training and oversight.
What we advise on
If you work in the public sector, then the Commission is able to provide confidential misconduct prevention advice to people in the Tasmanian public sector.
If we cannot help, we will direct you to the correct place.
The Commission is available to provide guidance on the courses of action it considers most appropriate; however, the final decision remains solely at your discretion.
Please note, any advice given is not legal advice, as this is not a function of the Integrity Commission.
Requesting and receiving advice
Advice can be sought by emailing contact@integrity.tas.gov.au
Or over the phone on 1300 720 289.
Upon receipt of your request, our initial engagement will involve a consultative discussion aimed at understanding the specific circumstances and concerns you have raised.
In some instances, a telephone consultation may be sufficient. However, where appropriate, we are also available to arrange a meeting to facilitate a more detailed exchange. Following such interactions, we may provide a written summary outlining the key points discussed and any recommended courses of action.
Important to note
All information provided to us is treated with the utmost confidentiality. However, absolute confidentiality cannot be assured in all circumstances, as future developments or legal obligations may necessitate disclosure beyond our control.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to inform my workplace I am seeking advice?
No. You can contact us as a public sector employee and we will provide advice on a confidential basis without notifying your workplace.
Am I required to act on the advice I receive?
No. We offer guidance and advice; you do not have to act on it. If you decide to share the advice, there is no requirement for your workplace to act either.
Will the Commission formally support my position?
No. The Commission’s role is to provide guidance and advice, not to make rulings on disputes.
I am a member of the public. Are you able to advise me?
No. We can provide advice to public sector employees only, and not members of the public. You may wish to call Ethi-call.
