The ANAO gifts and benefits policy recommends that ANAO employees do not accept any gifts or benefits in their role as an employee of the ANAO. Updates to this page have been made as of 30 June 2026, to include the Auditor-General gifts and benefits, the substantive classification of the staff member accepting or declining the gift or benefit, and to remove the approving officer column. On a monthly basis, the ANAO publicly reports all gifts and benefits accepted and declined, by the Auditor-General, Deputy-Auditor General, and all ANAO employees in the course of their official duties.
