•  compliance audits 
•  immigration detention oversight 
•  Commonwealth Public Interest Disclosure scheme oversight 
•  Private health insurance consumer information. 
The Ombudsman Act also confers the following specialist roles on the Ombudsman: 
•  Defence  Force  Ombudsman—handling  complaints  by  serving  and  former  members  of  the 
Australian Defence Force relating to their service and in relation to allegations of abuse 
•  Postal  Industry  Ombudsman—handling  complaints  about  Australia  Post  and  private  postal 
operators registered with the Postal Industry Ombudsman scheme 
•  Overseas Students Ombudsman – handling complaints from overseas students about private 
education providers in Australia 
•  Private  Health  Insurance  Ombudsman  –  protecting  the  interests  of  private  health  insurance 
consumers 
•  VET Student Loans Ombudsman – handling complaints from past or current students about their 
VET FEE-HELP or VET Student Loan debts. 
The  Ombudsman  is  also  responsible  for  overseeing  immigration  detention  and  the  inspection  and 
monitoring  of  the  use  of  certain  covert  and  intrusive  powers  by  law  enforcement  agencies.  The 
Ombudsman is the National Preventive Mechanism Coordinator for the implementation of OPCAT in 
Australia. 
In undertaking these roles, the Ombudsman is impartial and independent. The Ombudsman is not an 
advocate for complainants or for agencies. The guiding principle in an Ombudsman investigation is to 
examine  whether  the  administrative  action  under  investigation  is  unlawful,  unreasonable,  unjust, 
oppressive, improperly discriminatory, factually deficient or otherwise wrong. At the conclusion of an 
investigation, the Ombudsman can recommend that corrective action be taken by an agency. This may 
occur either specifical y in an individual case or more general y by a change to relevant legislation, 
administrative policies or procedures. 
A  key  objective  of  the  Ombudsman  is  to  foster  good  public  administration  within  Australian 
Government agencies, ensuring that the principles and practices of public administration are sensitive, 
responsive  and  adaptive  to  the  interests  of  members  of  the  public.  The  Ombudsman  can  consider 
complaints about almost al  Australian Government departments and agencies, and most contractors 
delivering services to the community for, or on behalf of, the Australian Government. 
The Commonwealth Ombudsman is also the ACT Ombudsman in accordance with section 28 of the ACT 
Self-Government (Consequential Provisions) Act 1988
  (Cth).  The  role  of  the  ACT  Ombudsman  is 
performed under the Ombudsman Act 1989 (ACT), and is funded under a services agreement between 
the Commonwealth Ombudsman and the ACT Government. 
The Ombudsman is responsible for the strategic leadership and day-to-day management of the OCO 
and  with  the  development  of  policies,  systems  and  processes  for  conducting  effective  and  timely 
complaint  investigations  and  compliance  audits.  The  Ombudsman  is  required  to  build  strong  and 
enduring  working  relationships  with  key  stakeholders,  including  the  senior  staff  of  government
