Gifts and Benefits Register

A list of gifts and benefits we have received.

We manage gifts and benefits in line with the Australian Public Service Commission's Guidance for Agency Heads – Gifts and Benefits. Accordingly, our staff do not accept gifts or benefits where they could present a conflict of interest.

Under APSC guidance, agency heads must publish a register of gifts and benefits they accept on their agency website on a quarterly basis.

We maintain a list of gifts and benefits, including hospitality, accepted by staff in the course of their duties. This list shows accepted gifts and benefits with a value of over $100.

All future DVSC gifts, benefits and hospitality received will be registered on this page.

Gifts and Benefits Register

All gifts and benefits with a value over $100 that are accepted by the Commissioner or DVSC staff in the course of their duties are recorded and published in the Commission's Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Register. This Register is updated quarterly.
