Implementation of ethical frameworks by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations
Please direct enquiries through our contact page.
The objective of this audit is to examine the effectiveness of the implementation of frameworks to support ethical behaviours within the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR).
Audit criteria
The ANAO proposes to examine:
- Do the ‘tone from the top’ and overarching strategies and policies within DEWR promote ethical behaviour and facilitate compliance with the Australian Government’s ethical framework?
- Are there sufficient supporting mechanisms in place to implement the ethical strategies and policies?
- Is there effective assessment, monitoring and reporting of compliance to provide assurance to the accountable authority that the strategies and policies are being implemented effectively?

The ANAO welcomes members of the public contributing information for consideration when conducting performance audits. Performance audits involve the independent and objective assessment of the administration of an entity or body’s programs, policies, projects or activities. They also examine how well administrative support systems operate.
The ANAO does not have a role in commenting on the merits of government policy but focuses on assessing the efficient and effective implementation of government programs, including the achievement of their intended benefits.
