Our Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Register

We have a Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Policy to provide guidance to all Austin Health employees in relation to the acceptance and provision of gifts, benefits and hospitality.

The community expects high standards of integrity, impartiality and responsible use of public resources from Victorian public sector employees. Austin Health employees must not accept gifts, benefits or hospitality from people or organisations seeking to influence their decisions unfairly.

In line with Victorian Public Sector Commission (VPSC) guidelines, our gifts, benefits and hospitality register is available to our community.
