The funding of integrity agencies is being put at arm's length and agencies will receive an additional $228.6 million in new expenditure over 10 years to help them continue to deliver their valuable work. New arrangements announced today by the NSW Government will safeguard the independence of the state's five key integrity agencies and ensure they remain adequately resourced to maintain their key role in upholding our democracy. Building on recommendations of a 2020 Public Accountability Committee Report and a 2022 report published by the Auditor-General, the NSW Government will implement a transparent budget management model for the following agencies: Audit Office of New South Wales the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission the New South Wales Electoral Commission the New South Wales Ombudsman's Office.
