The
Annual Action Plan: Implementing the Integrity Framework 2024–25 mobilises the Integrity Framework and establishes a 12-month plan to strengthen fraud and corruption controls across the department. It contains activities to help ensure our culture is characterised by the highest standards of ethical behaviour and accountability at every level of the organisation.
The 5 key areas within the Annual Action Plan contain discrete actions focused on preventing, detecting and responding to corrupt conduct and fraud.
Monitoring: We use reporting, data and systems to monitor and improve our performance; embed a zero-tolerance approach to fraud and corruption; and consider integrity in everything we do.
Information and communication: We focus on building capability, awareness and culture to support our employees to make ethical decisions and enhance transparency and accountability.
Control environment: We build connections across agencies and implement reforms and recommendations to create a positive environment for teaching and working.
Risk oversight: Our Integrity Fraud and Corruption Committee promotes a culture of integrity, and champions, oversees and monitors the department's fraud and corruption control framework, strategies and mechanisms.
Control activities: We focus on reducing risk and performance variability by designing, regularly assessing and maintaining effective controls that support ethical practices.
