Integrity Code consultation

Minimum standard 5 requires that an organisation must cooperate with us when we are performing our role and functions in relation to the Integrity Code.

This is to facilitate our role overseeing the implementation of the Integrity Code, including through education, dispute resolution and investigation. It also provides a way to hold organisations to account if they obstruct our efforts to investigate and resolve an issue. We expect this will be rarely used but it is an important backstop.

To comply, organisations must:

• provide us information when requested or required to
• engage in good faith in dispute resolution
• impose sanctions on participants when required by the disciplinary panel
• take steps to put things right (remedial action) when there are breaches of the Integrity Code.
