The New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) will head to the Hunter New England region next week as part of its ongoing rural and regional outreach program. This initiative aims to extend anti-corruption efforts and training to communities across the state.
The program, based in Tamworth, will feature a variety of events including workshops for public officials, visits to local councils, information sessions tailored for local electorate staff, and visits to TAFEs in the area.
Chief Commissioner John Hatzistergos expressed that the rural and regional outreach program is a critical way for the ICAC to connect with public officials and communities outside metropolitan hubs.
“Sharing anti-corruption initiatives and messages is an important part of the ICAC’s role,” Chief Commissioner Hatzistergos said. “We are looking forward to conducting training opportunities with public officials and leaders in the Hunter New England region, and are also keen to meet and explain the role that all members of the community can play in combatting corruption.”
In addition to Tamworth, ICAC’s outreach and training activities will reach several other locations within the Hunter New England area, including Glen Innes Severn.
