Privacy Awareness Week (webinar). In May, IBAC’s Deputy Commissioner David Wolf joined the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner (OVIC) to discuss the importance of government organisations protecting private information, as part of Privacy Awareness Week. He spoke about the risks of a misuse of information, which was often underreported in the public sector.

Making a complaint to IBAC (webinar). As part of Law Week in May, IBAC held a webinar to help improve public understanding of IBAC’s complaint processes and how IBAC manages a complaint. Our panel shared insights on how the agency assesses complaints and Public Interest Disclosures (PIDs). We also discussed the types of misconduct that can be reported to IBAC, how complaints are reviewed, and the special protections provided to people making a PID.

Who assesses the integrity of Victoria Police?
