The South Australian Public Sector Values describe integrity as acting truthfully, consistently and fairly.

Building integrity means

  • using our authority responsibly
  • being open and transparent in our actions and decision making
  • reporting improper conduct
  • avoiding or appropriately resolving any real or perceived conflicts of interests

We want all employees in the public sector to make a difference to the community we serve, be faithful to our values and to be proud of how we go about our work.

The Integrity Framework

This Integrity Framework aims to achieve improved and sustained trust, with a culture of integrity reflected in employees’ decision making across all levels of the sector. Building integrity in our practices requires:

1. The right sector-wide directions, policies and systems.

2. The right agency systems, processes and policies.

3. Our employees consistently act in a respectful and appropriate manner, no matter their position.
