Our decisions

We make decisions based on governance principles, legislative requirements, and public accountability.

Integrity

We apply strong governance principles to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible management of public resources. Our Integrity Framework (PDF, 486KB) outlines the instruments, mechanisms and responsibilities that help the department deliver on its strategic and business plans, outcomes and values.

Decision-making and accountability

We follow clear processes to ensure decisions align with governance requirements. General information about our performance and financial management is available in our annual report.

Policies and standards

We publish policies and standards to ensure consistency, compliance, and accountability in how we operate and deliver services. View our policies and standards.

Public consultations

We consult with industry, communities, and the public to ensure decisions are informed and practical. Current consultations open for public submission are available on our Engagement Hub.
