South Australia: the public-sector Code of Ethics
What applies
The Commissioner issues this Code under section 14(1)(a) of the Public Sector Act 2009 (SA). It is the statutory code of conduct for public-sector employees. The official PDF is marked ©2024 and identifies January 2022 as the date of its underlying content. Its references to the old 2010 regulations should not be taken as a current regulations citation.
What to check in corrections
The professional conduct standards cover lawful and reasonable directions, respectful behaviour, handling official information, conflicts of interest, outside work and reports of suspected wrongdoing. Separate the precise standard from what is alleged, what evidence establishes and what consequence the governing discipline process permits. If a local standard is relied on, identify its version and how it was communicated. Handle protected or restricted information through the authorised channels.
