Gift register
Under APSC Guidance agency heads must publish a register of gifts and benefits they accept on a quarterly basis. All gifts or benefits accepted by Commission staff (and valued at over $AUD100.00 (excluding GST), are reported.
The principles underpinning the disclosure requirements are:
- that agency heads are meeting public expectations of integrity, accountability, independence, transparency and professionalism in relation to gifts and benefits
- that there is consistency in relation to agency heads’ management of gifts and benefits across Australian Public Service agencies and Commonwealth entities and companies
- airline membership disclosures include details of new or renewed memberships to the Qantas Chairman’s and/or Virgin Beyond lounges, noting that invitations are extended at the discretion of the airline and may include spouses.”
