Welcome to the September issue of IBAC Insights. In our last edition, I mentioned as part of the Victorian Government's budget package, IBAC secured additional funding of $20 million over four years. This welcome and needed funding is already being directed to recruit additional team members to assess, review and investigate allegations of serious public sector corruption and police misconduct, and to increase resourcing for our important prevention and education, and legal and compliance work.
In recent months we have advertised a number of these contract roles for a variety of disciplines across the organisation. I am pleased to report our recruitment is well advanced and we welcomed the first of our new colleagues last month.
