Illustration for Inspector-General of Defence Act 2023

The Inspector-General has to give a report to the Minister each year. You will see this report has information about what the Inspector-General did during the year. It includes things like the number of investigations and what happened with each one. The report also says how many times the Inspector-General decided not to do an investigation, and what happened instead, as outlined in section 15. You will find financial information in the report too. The Inspector-General can add other information if they think it is necessary. The report cannot have sensitive information in it. The Minister has to give a copy of the report to the House of Representatives as soon as they can. Then the Inspector-General must put the report on a website for everyone to see.
