The Office for Public Integrity (OPI) was established by the ICAC Act.

The OPI plays an important role in keeping public institutions reliable, fair and trustworthy. We do this by:

• receiving complaints about public administration from members of the public
• receiving reports about corruption, misconduct and maladministration in public administration from public officers and authorities
• referring complaints and reports to inquiry agencies, public authorities or public officers for further investigation or action when needed, such as:
  • Ombudsman SA
  • the Independent Commission Against Corruption
  • Judicial Conduct Commissioner
• overseeing the assessment and investigation of complaints and reports about the conduct of SA Police officers.

We are also responsible for overseeing public interest disclosures, and are a relevant authority for anyone wanting to make a disclosure of public interest information under the PID Act.

We are the only body who can receive complaints and reports about potential corruption in public administration. We can also receive complaints about potential misconduct and maladministration.
