Rural and regional outreach program

The Rural and Regional Outreach Program commenced in 2001 to bring corruption prevention advice and resources on-site to non-metropolitan areas of NSW. The ICAC generally conducts two comprehensive rural and regional outreach visits each year.

Each visit includes training workshops for public sector managers and supervisors, a community leaders' event and briefing sessions.  

These visits aim to:

  • raise understanding of corruption risks
  • provide practical corruption prevention information
  • give advice on how to report corrupt activities.

HUNTER AND NEW ENGLAND OUTREACH – 11 TO 14 NOVEMBER 2024

The next visit will be held in the Hunter and New England region in November 2024 and will be centred in Tamworth. The following workshops are now open for registration:
