This back pocket brief documents the Department of Home Affairs' response to the Robodebt Royal Commission's final report and 57 recommendations released on 7 July 2023. While the Commission made no direct attributions to Home Affairs, the Department identified 33 recommendations as relevant across Commonwealth departments. The Department conducted internal analysis in March 2023 mapping key themes—including integrity, culture, leadership, governance, risk identification, and legal advice handling—against its current practices and frameworks. The Department concluded it possessed robust policies and risk management processes but acknowledged room for improvement, particularly in supporting managers and individuals to understand their responsibilities in fostering positive risk culture. Home Affairs remains an active participant in the APS Integrity Taskforce contributing to government-wide action planning, with the PM&C-established Taskforce handling formal government response development.
