  • Public administration information – means information that raises a potential issue of corruption, misconduct or maladministration in public administration.

Further information can be found on the Public interest disclosure/Office for Public Integrity website or on the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment’s website.

Any person can contact the Office of Public Integrity, who is a relevant authority for all public interest information. The Public Interest Disclosure Act ensures that the identity of the person making the report is kept confidential.
