On 28 September 2022, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus introduced the National Anti-Corruption Commission Bill 2022 and National Anti-Corruption Commission (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2022 (collectively, the Bills) to Parliament. The Bills are currently under review before the joint committee. The government aims to pass the Bills this year which will enable the commencement of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) in mid-2023.

What is the National Anti-Corruption Commission?

The Bills seek to establish the NACC under a Parliamentary Joint Committee, with an appointed Inspector led by the NACC Commissioner, up to three Deputy Commissioners, and supported by a Chief Executive Officer.
