There is currently a high volume of activity across the Commonwealth to strengthen integrity systems and culture. This guide brings together a sample of good practices, to shine a light on innovative work underway and to encourage the sharing and uptake of scalable ideas across the Australian Public Service (APS).

It presents initiatives that can be readily implemented across the integrity ‘lifecycle’ of an agency, from strategy through to implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The emphasis is on integrity culture rather than pure compliance with integrity obligations.

Examples provided in this guide cover the following topics:

• Integrity strategy
• Integrity championship and leadership
• Integrated approach to integrity
• Integrity data
• Integrity evaluation and oversight
• Integrity knowledge
