This FOI decision (LEX 82726, dated 14 July 2026) responds to a request for aggregate, de-identified data on APS Code of Conduct findings at the Department of Veterans' Affairs from 2020 to 2026. The department reports eight employees found to have breached the Code for failing to disclose a conflict of interest under s 13(7) of the Public Service Act 1999: two resigned before sanction, five had salary deducted as a fine, and one was terminated. No findings were recorded for outside employment or private business interests. The department says it does not centrally record matters resolved without formal finding. It also reports no probationary terminations under s 29(3)(f) linked to these grounds. Classification bands were withheld because the small cohort posed a re-identification risk, which is a privacy consideration. The release contains no policy documents or program data relating to DVA's claims schemes.
