The review includes a range of practical actions that have been taken to improve pro-integrity cultures across the Victorian public sector. A pro-integrity culture should rely on both a compliance-based approach and a values-based approach to make sure that integrity risks are properly managed, and that opportunities for reflecting on, having conversations about, and practices of integrity are created, maintained and embedded in the day-to-day operations of the organisation.

The review provides a framework for categorising the variety of practical actions that are being taken to change public sector practices. This framework, as well as the concrete examples of each category of practice, can assist the sector to identify different approaches for the development of fit-for-purpose interventions. 

The analysis is shared here for the benefit of practitioners across the sector. The selection of practices featured in the report aim at presenting communities of practice with options, rather than a comprehensive accounting of all pro-integrity measures being implemented across the public sectors of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
