AMSA Gifts and Benefits register
The Australian public expects public servants and officials to demonstrate integrity, accountability, independence, transparency and professionalism.
AMSA executives and officials are encouraged to decline gifts, hospitality or other benefits—particularly those which could reasonably be perceived as compromising our integrity.
The Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) requires all agency heads to publicly disclose all gifts and benefits accepted and valued at over A$100 (excluding GST) in a standard format.
