The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) officially opened its doors on 1 July and is set to have its hands full with 44 referrals having already been made.

Headed up by the former NSW Court of Appeal Judge, Paul Brereton AM RFD SC, the NACC will investigate serious or systemic instances of corrupt conduct by Commonwealth officials. In a recent statement, Mr Brereton expressed a desire for the Commission to attract a reputation of "being fearless but fair, independent, and impartial."

Commissioner Brereton is joined by three deputies:

  • Dr Ben Gauntlett, former Disability Discrimination Commissioner at the Australian Human Rights Commission
  • Nicole Rose PSM, former CEO of AUSTRAC
