South Western Sydney Area Health Service - investigation into various allegations (Operation Jardine)

The ICAC investigated alleged misconduct within the South Western Sydney Area Health Service (SWSAHS), alleged mistreatment of persons who complained about such conduct and associated circumstances.

The ICAC produced two reports on this investigation.

The first report, made public on 13 April 2005, dealt with allegations that the former NSW Minister for Health, the Hon Craig Knowles MP, mistreated nurses who brought complaints to him. The second report, made public on 22 September 2005, dealt with a large number of separate allegations made by three nurses and a number of other persons, most of whom were employees of the SWSAHS. None of the allegations investigated by the ICAC were ultimately substantiated.

No findings of corrupt conduct or related recommendations were made in either report.
