The National Anti-Corruption Commission's 2024 Commonwealth Integrity Survey assessed corruption risks and integrity perceptions across the Australian public sector, with DSS achieving a 45% response rate (1,615 of 3,579 staff) compared to the overall 21% rate. The survey of 58,309 responses across 171 agencies evaluated organisational controls, employee comprehension, and reporting likelihood through 53 questions. Key findings showed 79% of DSS respondents had positive sentiment regarding agency integrity, though only 67% rated anti-corruption controls as strong (though 92% considered them satisfactory). Nearly all respondents (96%) were confident identifying corruption in their area. The survey was conducted August-September 2024 to understand the nature and extent of corruption risk in the public sector and assess staff understanding of integrity frameworks and willingness to report misconduct.
