This submission responds firstly to each of the proposed initiatives discussed in the APS Commission’s Issues Paper.

It also addresses one of the Government’s Stage 1 integrity reforms which has not yet been fully implemented and one of the integrity-related recommendations of the Robodebt Royal Commission to which the Government has agreed but has not yet been implemented.

Thirdly, the submission identifies other reform initiatives, some of which the Government has publicly committed to, that should be pursued as important elements of a comprehensive integrity reform agenda.
