The Integrity and Ethics Suite
IPAA Victoria’s Integrity and Ethics Suite provides the public purpose sector with insights on how to uphold high standards of integrity and ethics.
As public servants, we bear a unique responsibility to uphold the highest standards of integrity and ethics. These principles are not only the foundation of public trust but are also critical to effective governance.
In the Victorian Public Sector (VPS), integrity is essential as it ensures public resources are managed responsibly, decisions are made transparently, and the community can trust that public services are delivered fairly. Integrity and ethics builds confidence in government institutions, fostering accountability, and demonstrating that public sector employees act in the best interests of the people they serve.
Building a culture of integrity and ethics within an organisation does not happen by chance. It requires deliberate and coordinated efforts from leaders and the active participation of everyone within the organisation. When leaders model ethical behaviour and commit to integrity, it strengthens the public’s faith in government processes and promotes long-term sustainability.
IPAA Victoria’s Integrity and Ethics suite is designed to equip public sector leaders and employees with the knowledge and skills to:
- understand ethics
- recognise biases
- make ethical decisions
- foster a culture of integrity.

The IELP program, theories, and practices have etched a significant skill set into my leadership inventory and helped broadened my perspective of how to approach ethical dilemmas, and integrity issues within the public sector.
