Welcome to the IBAC Website

In April 2016, IBAC commenced an investigation into allegations a VicRoads employee engaged in serious corrupt conduct by accessing, altering and disclosing sensitive vehicle registration and licensing information without authorisation, and this information was then being disclosed to associates from outlaw motorcycle gangs.

In January 2018, IBAC commenced an investigation into allegations a corrections officer had introduced contraband into Fulham Correctional Centre, had inappropriate relationships with prisoners, and had unlawfully accessed information.

This information sheet highlights potential risks and drivers of corruption associated with government-funded human services delivered by community service organisations. It aims to raise awareness of these issues so funding agencies and regulators can assist community service organisations to identify, manage and prevent corruption risks.

Public sector agencies manage a wide range of information. This includes personal health records and contact details as well as sensitive political and economic information and financial data. The appropriate handling and security of this information is imperative. Unauthorised access and disclosure of data and information undermines the credibility of the public sector and jeopardises trust in government agencies to responsibly manage public information and ensure personal information is managed carefully and securely.

This report provides an overview of the key risks associated with unauthorised access and disclosure of information by Victoria Police employees. It explores the drivers of these risks, as well as potential prevention, reporting and detection measures.
