What is APSACC?

APSACC is Australia’s leading anti-corruption event, attracting industry leaders and experts from across the state and territory, federal, public and private sectors, as well as around the world.

It offers an opportunity for anti-corruption agencies, academics and practitioners to share their knowledge, experience and expertise.

The focus is on preventing, exposing and responding to corruption in the public sector, including all levels of government, elected bodies, the judiciary, police and statutory bodies.
