Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

Prior to 1 July 2019 ASIC Commissioners, including the Chairman, and ASIC staff were subject to the APS Code of Conduct {Section 13 of the Public Service Act 1999}.

Subsection 15(3) of the Public Service Act 1999 provides

(3) An Agency Head must establish written procedures in accordance with this section for determining:

(a) whether an APS employee, or a former APS employee, in the Agency has breached the Code of Conduct (including by engaging in conduct referred to in subsection (2A)); and

(b) the sanction (if any) that is to be imposed under subsection (1) on an APS employee in the Agency who is found to have breached the Code of Conduct (including by engaging in conduct referred to in subsection (2A)).

The document I seek is a copy of the written procedures in force up until 1 July 2019 pursuant to Subsection 15(3) of the Public Service Act 1999.

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney
