The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) is Victoria's agency responsible for preventing and exposing public sector corruption and police misconduct. Our jurisdiction covers state and local government, police, parliament and the judiciary.

As Victoria's anti-corruption agency, IBAC:

  • receives complaints and notifications of public sector corruption and police misconduct
  • investigates and exposes serious or systematic public sector corruption and police misconduct
  • informs the public sector, police and the community about risks and impacts of corruption and police misconduct, and ways it can be prevented.

Public value outcomes

Our public value outcomes describe the positive impact we aim to deliver for Victoria to achieve our vision:

  1. Strengthening trust in the public sector and police
  2. A strong integrity culture across Victoria
  3. Collective ownership in preventing corruption and misconduct.

We are independent

IBAC is independent of the government of the day, while accountable to Victorians through the State Parliament. IBAC will always take its obligations, especially in the exercise of its significant powers, seriously.

We are subject to scrutiny by the Victorian Inspectorate and our Parliamentary Committee. Learn more about our accountability.
