It alerts government departments to opportunities to strengthen their systems and practices to address those vulnerabilities.

This report presents a snapshot of health sector complaints and cases that have arisen during IBAC’s first four years of operation. It explores the corruption vulnerabilities associated with the health sector – both those specific to the health sector and those it shares with the broader public sector. Highlighting such issues helps the health sector to identify corruption risks, and take appropriate prevention and detection actions to address them.

In the seventh podcast of our corruption prevention series, we are joined by Dr Michael Macaulay, who shares his insights on the importance of leading ethical organisations, and the role it can play in preventing corruption and misconduct. He also touches on ‘noble cause corruption’ and if the ends can ever really justify the means.
